Don't speak
Don't speak until you've caught your breathe
Don't sleep
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed

Just pray in the night they take someone instead
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head

Please dear
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Don't fear
Don't fear the worst in case it comes

Just pray in the night that they don't take your love
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
You're getting use to 'em

What happens next
What happens next
East to west
Lunatics

And it started slow
Ends in a rush
Starts with them
And ends with us

Just pray in the night these walls are enough
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Do what we will and we will what we must
