Carnage

The day that carnage came to town We locked and bolted our doors down We laid silent on the ground Hoping we will not be found As children moan as mother cries I hide the fear from my eyes We creep down the cellar door Underneath the rotting floor Oh, I can't see the light Is it day or has darkness come like men My brothers fight Oh' when will this be done Will we see, will we see the sun? We hold up stock down in the cave Two weeks gone by will we be saved? The rats go ahead and steal their share For in the darkness we're unaware I try to keep the others strong We won't last down here very long How many lives have our boys gave Have we built our shallow grave Oh, I can't see the light Is it day or has darkness come like men My brothers fight Oh' when will this be done Will we see, will we see the sun Skin and bones we waste away Two months gone by no light of day Children rocking back and forth They don't play much anymore The smell of death is in the air Our chances are much less than fair To leave may be our certain doom To stay shelter becomes a tomb Oh, I can't see the light Is it day or has darkness come like men My brothers fight Oh' when will this be done Will we see, will we see the sun Will we see, will we see the sun
