In the Dark Times Lyrics

In barbarous times you were hung
If you stole sheep to have something to eat
And while you hung the well-to-do
Said, "A job well done"Women were burnt at the stake
Maybe they'd done nothing
Or slapped someone
They shouldn't haveThese were the crimes
In the dark times
These were the crimes
In the barbarous times
Pointless was well thought out (?)
Some lethal game (?)These were the crimes
In the dark times
These were the crimes
In the dark timesMother went out to the shops
And left her baby indoors where she played with matches
The house burnt down
The mother went to jailPointless was well thought out (?)

Some lethal game (?)
These were the crimes
In the dark times
These were the crimes
In the barbarous times
