The Field of Brown


My head will drown

My face will frown

My head will drown

In a field of brown

 

The people run

The normal shun

The people run

From everyone

 

Love has vanished

Trust is banished

Love has vanished

Amongst the famished

 

Sadness spreads

Shame rethreads

Sadness spreads

Through all the heads

 

Advice is taken

All are shaken

Advice is taken

To reawaken

Now they see

Now they see

What it is to be

 

Get used

To getting used

Or the abused

 Become confused

 

Find yourself

In private hell

Then you’ll tell

You never fell

 

The starry sky

Of the sorry night

Will make you forget

You forgot to fight

 

Blizzards come

Freeze the sum

Of every bum

To the point of numb

 

 

Then we come down

We come down

In the field of brown

 

The brown will sleep

As the famished weep

The brown will sleep

With all of the sheep

 

The snow will fall

While the famished crawl

The snow will fall

Upon the call

 

A second of peace

A second release

A second of peace

That will never cease

 

The famished are dead

The field is bred

Without a head

 

Then we come down

We come down

From the field of brown
