In barbarous times you were hung
If you stole sheep to have something to eat
And while you hung the well-to-do

These were the crimes

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

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
