Let the Dead Take Me Songtext
von Asking Alexandria

I got a lot of stress in the back of my mind
And I can feel it pumping blood ′round, 'round
Like there′s something inside
I'm going down, down, think I'm at the end of the ride
′Cause everybody don′t mean shit no more

I'm taking one hit just to cure my pain
I′m losing my life tryna live again
I'm feeling so fucked up, messed up, spinning around
If they could see me now, yeah

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-naa-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na


I′m going too fast, and I'm never gonna stop
My mind is racing, and I′m falling from the top
I feel a little psycho, crazy, nothing seems to faze me
I'm losing myself again

I'm taking one hit just to cure my pain
I′m losing my life tryna live again
I′m feeling so fucked up, messed up, spinning around
If they could see me now, yeah

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free

O Messiah! O Messiah!
Wash away my sins and let the dead take me

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me

Mm, take me down, down (down, down)
Take me down, down

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free


Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free

Stress, stress in the back of my mind
Down, down at the end of the ride
'Cause everybody don′t mean shit

I'm taking one hit just to cure my pain
I′m losing my life tryna live again
I'm feeling so fucked up, messed up, spinning around
If they could see me now, yeah

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free

O Messiah! O Messiah!
Wash away my sins and let the dead take me

Take me down to the river of the hopeless
Wash my sins, let the dead take me
Take my soul, let me feed on the broken
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free

O Messiah! O Messiah!
O Messiah! O Messiah!
Cleanse my pain, let the blood run free
