Written by Isaac Murdoch

lyrics

Wake up early one morning to the sound of flapping wings
Birds are gonna sing a song for you
Thundering in the ground, it makes an eerie sound
You know they're coming down for you

And fires are burning nicely, they’re blocking out the sun
Go and grab your gun, like you do

Should have kept it in the ground
Ah, in the ground

Deers are running frightened, fire falling off their backs
Go ahead and take a look back at what you’ve done
And the sky is orange and yellow as the lightning strikes the ground
Even though you know you’re found, what shall you do?

Should have kept it in the ground
Should have kept it in the ground
Ah, in the ground

You’re hiding inside the church, trying not to make a sound
Your money can’t save you now, no no no
And do you hear the pecking, as they’re knocking at your door
You’re gouging through the floor, look at you

Should have kept it in the ground
You should have kept it in the ground, you should have kept it in the ground
Should have kept it in the ground
You should have kept it in the ground, you should have kept it in the ground
