Please Say No

(album: The Act - 2019)

Foot by foot down the stairs
No tinge of twilight between the floorboards
One man followed by another deep south, beneath, under
Slowly entering the cellar

Please say no
Think about when she was
In your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no
Think about when she was
In your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no

Let them bells ring as they did years ago
Let that choir sing and so it goes
He begs for every coin as they promise to reap and sow
She begs to be employed
Down below

Please say no
Think about when she was
In your arms
(Down below, down below)
Please say no
Think about when she was
In your arms
Down below
Please say no!

The poor are giving and the priests are taking!
The poor are giving and the priests are taking!
Down below!

Please say no
Think about when she was
In your arms
Down below
Please say
