Don't be so buried in the light
Don't be so buried in the light
Don't be so buried in the light
Don't be so buried in the light
Don't be so buried in the light
Don't be so buried in the light

I thought I said, keep it far away from me
Don't get it closer, keep it far away from me
Tell me your fears young man, so we can laugh at them
Like me laughing at the growl of a raging pup
Tell me your fears again you laughing son
That you were obstinate in your ways and were blackened by sin
And when you saw them guns in hand, where you shown their ways
Stab and trust and take and plough and bow and burn and learn

(Don't be so buried in the light)
(Don't be so buried in the light)
(Don't be so buried in the light) Do you laugh now?
(Don't be so buried in the light) Blackened and bruised
(Don't be so buried in the light) Do you laugh now?
(Don't be so buried in the light) Blackened and bruised
(Don't be so buried in the light) Do you laugh now?
(Don't be so buried in the light) Blackened and bruised
(Don't be so buried in the light) Do you laugh now?
(Don't be so buried in the light) Blackened and bruised

I never thought I'd find what I found in you
Amongst the warring crowds you saw me too
And now I know I love what they hated in you
We'll get it back, what they took from you

What they took from you
What they took from you

Do you laugh now?
(Blackened and bruised)
Do you laugh now?
(Blackened and bruised)
Do you laugh now?
(Blackened and bruised)
Do you laugh now?
(Blackened and bruised)

Do you laugh now?
Do you laugh now?
Do you laugh now?
Do you laugh now?(Blackened and bruised)
