The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Set me down, Oh set me down
On hallowed ground again
Wear me down in prayer confounded
Shadow my torment
It's dead it's over all too slow
Can't you see you're my worst enemy?
It's over, overthrown
All I see is just faithless decree
Set me down, Oh lay me down
On ravaged ground again
Lay me down, embrace me now,
My prelude to descent
We never run the same way...
We never run the same...
