In Mud

Listen

____________________________________________

Most grim and baleful world
From thousands there
Ruthless and evil lord
Of our tale
A ripple of the seaside
People who shun and hide
Terror, danger and pain
For sale...

Those who ever beware
Never believe
The strangers who disappear
When they feel blood
Look for the people who dare
Who are upright and fair
But always they are alone
In ageless mud

Where on Earth can I find
A place to hide
Where on Earth can I find
Someone I can trust
Look for the people who dare
But on the Earth they are rare
And always they are alone
In timeless rust
