lyrics

The Snake (P McMahon C Ashton)
Into the night the grey snake runs.
Tortured by fire tormented by guns.
Only to flee from the fighting all around.
Ony to see where some sense can be found.
With no blood on the sea and no bones on the ground.

With the coming of dawn the sun shining pale.
Stories are passed from her head to her tail.
Tales of a time before the fields turned to brown.
Before the walls came to split up the town.
Before the fires came to burn it down.

On through the night the snake can’t pause.
Soldiers would come and snatch her in their claws.
With nothing to feed on and no place to lie.
Out in the darkness some piece of her will die.
Black cloaked on black earth underneath a black sky.

Over the sand the grey snake slides.
Scale upon scale is falling from her sides.
Until but a sliver of snake slithers on.
Through the black mounds of skin with its clothing still on.
Through the blackened mounds of corpses while the world watches on.

One man alone from the column still stands.
The others all lost on the journey to this land.
We’ve no place here for a man such as he.
We send him back to his own country.
Back to the bones and the blood on the sea.
Back to the bones, back to the bones,
Back to the bones and the blood on the sea.
