One came to steal my thunder One, to set me on the cross One tried to hold me under One brought me nothing but loss One tried to smoke me out at the stake Tried to poison my wishing well One fed me venom and sealed his fate He had me sound his death knell Don't bring me down Down down down Don't bring me down You'll lose your crown Bring me his head Whatever the cost may be Bring me his head Don't try to steal my thunder Don't try to put me on the cross Don't you try to hold me under I will bury you beneath the moss Don't bring me down Down, down, down Don't bring me down You'll lose your crown Bring me his head Whatever the cost may be Bring me his head The look in your dead eyes Is that a look of surprise That you died for me Don't bring me down Down, down, down Don't bring me down You'll lose your crown Bring me his head Whatever the cost may be Bring me his head Bring me his head Whatever the cost of his death Bring me his head Bring me his head Bring me his head Bring me his head
