Road's getting narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed 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 [bad word] [bad word] to betray us?

Who would have sought love from those who prayed for peace while sewing hatred's seed?

Who would have fought for a land where blood flows till it clots each river?

Who would have sons knowing all the orphans they would soon deliver?

Kneel beside me, in this field of memory

Don't [bad word] those you fear; don't kill what you've been

When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed 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

Sleep beside me, there's no time to worry

The sound that you fear... [bad word] from your ear

When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows

Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow

Little boys little boys little boys there's a choice

When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows

Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow

Little boys and their toys; little boys you became what you fear

Weep beside me, in this sea of memory

Don't you see what I see... you're the men that you fear

When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows

Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow

What's the point

When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed 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 gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow

And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows

Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow

Little boys little boys little boys don't [bad word] what you fear
