There were no doubts in our minds
 We set our eyes to the distance
 We would find what we would find
 We took courage from our numbers
 What we sought we did not fear
 Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling
 The shadow would disappear
 But our thoughts kept returning
 To something the boy said
 As we turned to go
 He said you'll never see our faces again
 You'll be food for a carrion crow

 Every step we took today
 Our thoughts would always stray
 From the wind on the moor so wild
 To the words of the captain's child
 Something the boy said

 In the circles we made with our fires
 We talked of the pale afternoon
 The clouds were like dark riders
 Flying on the face of the moon
 We spoke our fears to the captain
 And asked what his son could know
 For we would never have marched so far
 To be food for a crow

 Every step we took today
 Our thoughts would always stray
 From the wind on the moor so wild
 To the words of the captain's child
 Something the boy said

 When I awoke this morning
 The sun's eye was red as blood
 The stench of burning corpses
 Faces in the mud
 Am I dead or am I living?
 I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know
 I'm too afraid to look behind me
 At the feast of the crow
 We spoke our fears to the captain
 And asked what his son could know
 For we would never have marched so far
 To be food for a crow
