lyrics

There's a boy in the field, the wind caresses his face
And his fingers plough the land, the earth in his hands
He toils with all of his might from dawn until the night,
The fear of what might be for the boy in the field

Sanctify and yield
Sanctify and yield
Take him out to the field
Sanctify and yield
He fails to understand
He fails to understand
Fails to understand
Why he's the boy in the field

Down, down, down on bended knees
Down, down, down on bended knees
Children cry and soft voices die
Down, down, down on bended knees

There's a boy in the field, without a proper name
A consequence of shame, there's a boy in the field
They found him out in the heath, buried him under the peet
Cold and bitter grief for the boy in the field
