Lyrics

Oh, where is my loved one buried?
Oh, where did my loved one go?
He got caught out walking on the wrong side of town
They stole him and laid him down low

Oh, why did they go for my loved one?
He never knew them before
Outnumbered by drunkards with hate in they hearts
They spilled all his blood on the floor

Oh, what did you ask of my loved one
That he was unable to give?
Oh, what did he do to deserve it?
Lord, what will it take to forgive?

Oh, how do you sleep with your conscience?
You murdered an innocent man
You must be psychotic to choose to ignore it
You must be eternally damned

[instrumental]

Oh, when will you call on your partners
Who all played a role in the crime?
And say with remorse “We deserve it”
And toast it with rat poison wine

Oh, where is my loved one buried?
Please answer before you go
He’s been late for his dinner ten years of winter
Hidden ‘neath the undergrowth
