In The Dark Places

We got up early,

Washed our faces,

Walked the fields

And put up crosses.

Passed through the damned mountains,

Went hellwards,

And some of us returned,

And some of us did not.



In the fields and in the forests,

Under the moon and under the sun

Another summer has passed before us,

And not one man has,

And not one woman has

Revealed the secrets of this world.



So our young men

Hid with guns, in the dirt

And in the dark places.

Our young men

Hid with guns, in the dirt

And in the dark places.

Our young men

Hid with guns, in the forest

And in the dark places.



And not one man has,

And not one woman has

Revealed the secrets of this world.
