You can´t walk through the Isle of the dead
You can´t lie still in the guest house bed
There´s a pair of black eyes staring down at you
From the mountain top, through y´r window
The bunks are empty, your mates are gone

Breakfast lasts an hour long
O warm bread, drawn tea
The bastards´ll never get to me
But somebody knows, somebody knows
Somebody always knows
Where a body goes
I were one of two, we were joined at the shoe
When we thought to make our break
So we shimmied our locks and we knocked up a box
And we rode the thing down the waterway
Now the Derwent twists and the Derwent slides
It´s a moving thing with many eyes
O who´d have thought, at all or often
That vehicle would become our coffin?
So many souls, so many souls
So many souls in the water
I left me a little daughter and I left me a girl
And I left them alone in that tired old world

O where are they now?
I am one of a gang set to work on the land
A clearin´ and fellin´ and killin´
The best of us here has a conscience clear
And he goes about it keen and willin´
We´re shooting them from the rocks
And we´re shooting them in the water
And when they´re runnin´ we´re shootin´ them in the backs
And we do it without a thought or care?
So many lies, so many lies, so many lies been told
We´ll none of us here grow old
Not gracefully, not peacefully in this blind old land
In this dreaming land, some demon´s land
