Bed of Coals

I've been lying in a bed of coals

I've been crying out of control

I roll and I tumble

Every time I come down

I'm too old to die young

And too young to die now

I've been sleeping on a bed of nails

I've been bleeding - it never fails

I feel every needle

That pierced through my heart

I'm too old to die young

And I can't play the part

Bed of coals

Bed of nails

Through the smoke

Behind the veils

Bed of coals

Bed of nails

Through the smoke

Behind the veils

I've been lying in a bed of stone

I've been dying all alone

I pray for the power to turn it around

I'm too old to die young

And too young to die now

Bed of coals

Bed of nails

Through the smoke

Behind the veils

Bed of coals

Bed of nails

Through the smoke

Behind the veils
