come and take me down the dark beyond and take me there where i come from take me down to the place where i ll kneel and let me lay my shadow down in through the eyes of a child s inner me no pain to heal my bloodied brow there is no rain to save this silent town there is no rain to save at all there is no place to save this silent ground there is no place to save at all oh father take me unto where i ll lay me down on hallowed ground oh the sky is falling and i don t know where my home is now my hallowed ground oh and can you take me for i have tasted hallowed ground oh all around father do you hear me this pain i will not cry aloud father i know you hear me my head is bludgeoned but unbowed
