This ground is too hard to break
|
It ruined a pick and a spade
|
Frozen and solid as a rock
|
My hands are numb with the shock
|
I am prepared for the dirty work
|
I've grovelled for years in the bloody dirt
|
I have all teh tools that I need
|
And now I admit my defeat
|
|
What will it take to cleave this earth?
|
Break the ground
|
It's got to break
|
What will it take to cleave this earth?
|
I cannot wait
|
'Til spring
|
|
My cargo is still half alive
|
They twine 'round each other and cry
|
They beg me to finish the task
|
Will I inter them at last?
|
I glare at the place
|
I'd make a grave
|
I carry the shame it would contain
|
But thinking cannot rend a hole
|
Too tired to stave off the cold
|
