In The Dark Places

  • We got up early,
    Washed our faces,
    Walked the fields
    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 in the dark
    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.
    And in the dark places. Writer/s: Polly Harvey
