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 no light of day

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

Are chances are much less than fare

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
