Performed by James Marsters as the Vampire, Spike

I've died so many years ago.
You can make me feel,

Like it isn't so.
Why you come to be with me,

I think I finally know.
 

Mmmm.

You're scared,

ashamed of what you feel.
And you can't tell the ones you love,

you know they couldn't deal.
A whisper in a dead man's ear,

it doesn't make it real.

That's great, but I don't wanna play.
Cause being with you touches me

more than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you,

I'm saying stay away.
And let me rest in peace.

And let me rest in peace.
Let me get some sleep.
Let me take my love and bury it.
In a hole six foot deep.
I can lay my body down,

but I can't find my sweet release.
So let me rest in peace.

You know, you got a willin’ slave.
And you just love to play the thought,

that you might misbehave.
Until you do

I'm tellin' you

stop visitin' my grave.
And let me rest in peace.

I know I should go

but I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here

beneath my breast.
And it hurts me more

than you've ever guessed.
If my heart could beat

it would break my chest.
But I can see

you're unimpressed.
So leave me be.

And let me rest in peace.
Let me get some sleep.
Let me take my love and bury it.
In a hole six foot deep.
I can lay my body down,

but I can't find my sweet release.
So let me rest in peace.
 

Why won't you let me rest in peace?
