In the Dark Places Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We got up early, washed our faces
Walked the fields and put up crosses
Passed through the damned mountains
[Chorus]
Went hellwards
And some of us returned
And some of us did not
[Verse 2]
In the fields and in the forests
Under the moon and under the sun
Another summer has passed before us
[Chorus]
And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world
[Bridge]
So our young men hid with guns
In the dirt and in the dark places
Our young men hid with guns
In the dirt and in the dark places
Our young men hid with guns
In the forests and in the dark places
We got up early, washed our faces
Walked the fields and put up crosses
Passed through the damned mountains
[Chorus]
Went hellwards
And some of us returned
And some of us did not
[Verse 2]
In the fields and in the forests
Under the moon and under the sun
Another summer has passed before us
[Chorus]
And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world
[Bridge]
So our young men hid with guns
In the dirt and in the dark places
Our young men hid with guns
In the dirt and in the dark places
Our young men hid with guns
In the forests and in the dark places
[Chorus]
And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world
And not one man has
And not one woman has
Revealed the secrets of this world

Genius Annotation
Like all of the songs on Pj Harvey’s ‘Let England Shake’, this song is all about England. In this case, it’s about the meaningless wars that kills millions of young lives, and a salute, as well as a farewell to them.
