[Verse 1]
I called upon the heavens
To bring him back to me
He was my religion
Oh Lord, won't you cut me a deal?
It's a fearful matter
To love what death can touch
So long since I've seen his eyes
Oh Lord, it hurts so much

[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?

[Verse 2]
Hollow loom these empty halls
I'm haunted by your ghost
It's a cruel game to talk to the dead
But what hurts me the most
It's been so long, he never came back
He took my heart to his grave
How long
Before he's rising from the dead?
[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long before you come back?
How long?

[Bridge]
Don't leave me, no

[Chorus]
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?
How long before you come back
To lay my tears to rest?
How long
Before you're rising from the dead?
Before you're rising from the dead?
