Lyrics - Hallowed Ground by Alarm

Well the docks lie crippled
In the northem towns
The boys have all gone away
Trying to find work down south
And mister
I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now
I’ve seen the future
And
I’ve seen the past
And
I’ve seen the lights go down
On this world fading fast
And mister
I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
And mister
I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now
I’ve got a wife and a young child
Back home in my house
Oh
I’ve got someone
I’ve got to take care of somehow
