| Roads getting narrow
|
| With snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys, little boys little boys
|
| Who became what they feared Who would have thought
|
| That the ones who spoke of trust
|
| Would come to betray us
|
| Who would have sought
|
| Love from those who prayed for peace
|
| While sowing hatred’s seed Who would have fought
|
| For a land where blood flows still
|
| It blocks each river
|
| Who would have sons
|
| Knowing all the orphans
|
| They would soon deliver Kneel beside me
|
| In this field of memory
|
| Don’t become those you fear
|
| Don’t kill what you’ve been 'Cause the straight and arrow
|
| And snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys, little boys, little boys
|
| Who became what they feared You should have known
|
| That the snakes were
|
| Figments of your imagination
|
| You should have shown
|
| That the roads and gallows
|
| Were your own creation Kneel beside me
|
| There’s no time to worry
|
| The sound that you hear
|
| It comes from your ear 'Cause the road is narrow
|
| With snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys, little boys, little boys
|
| There’s a choice The straight and arrow
|
| And snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys and their toys, little boys
|
| Who became what they feared Kneel beside me
|
| In this sea of memory
|
| Don’t you see what I see? |
| You’re the man that you fear When the road is narrow
|
| With snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow What’s the point? |
| When the road is narrow
|
| With snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys, little boys
|
| There’s a choice, there’s a choice When the road is narrow
|
| With snakes in the shadow
|
| And the shade where you sleep
|
| Is form by the gallows
|
| Where a man with an arrow
|
| Was hung by the shallow Little boys, little boys, little boys
|
| Don’t become what you fear! |
