Something The Boy Said Lyrics - Ten Summoner's Tales - Sting

When we set out on this journey 

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 

Photos 

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
