Album:

Let England Shake

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,
 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.
