Downward Into The Dark Lyrics

A thousand bodies buried shallow, never deep

Found in the ruins of a playground, makes you weep

A thousand pairs of parents forced to sow what others reap

While the holy and the faithful lose no sleep

All our days are numbered but all of theirs were cold

Made to live a lie, made to do what they were told

Never to be free, their lives were all controlled

Stolen from their families, never to grow old

Oh, the organ played louder

As the teachers grew fatter

Claiming to save their tiny souls

Oh, don't it just matter

God isn't flattered

If you're finding tiny bones

In your backyard

Oh, Our Father who art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name

Oh, Our Father who art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name

Oh, the choir sang louder

As the preachers grew fatter

Claiming to save their tiny souls

Oh, don't it just matter

Heaven's in tatters

If you're hiding tiny bones
