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
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 fear
You should have known
That the snakes were
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
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 fear (2x)
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
Is form by the gallows
Where a man with an arrow
Was hung by the shallow
Little boys, little boys, little boys
What's the point?
Cause the straight and arrow
And snakes in the shadow
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 fear (2x)
Little boys, little boys
There's a choice, there's a choice
Cause the straight and arrow
And snakes in the shadow
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 fear!
