Hallowed Ground Lyrics


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
Oh 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

Oh Father, I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed, oh
Oh Father take me unto where I'll lay me down
Oh 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've spent a hallowed ground
Oh all around

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Scotland's greatest living Australian. Or the other way around, depending on how you look at it. Born in Peebles, Scotland, and emigrating to Australia in 1969, he currently resides near Adelaide, South Australia. Written in 1972, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda is perhaps his best-known song, being a haunting evocation of the ANZAC experience fighting in the Battle of Gallipoli. It has also been interpreted as a reaction to the Vietnam War.
