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

But not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world
