Once there was a cruelty man
The whip of the state in his hand
Creeping 'round the halting sites to steal their infancy
If they held out in the bushes and then come the morn
They had to move on again
Brush that history down the shore
Then disinfect the corridors
Mother, she is fallen and the father is unknown
Superior vile, she burnt the files and left a generation in tatters
They're rising, they're rising
Their chances of surviving
What's really after happening in the field
They're rising, they're rising
But no one's eulogising
What's really after happening in the field
A young one that was raped so young
Took decades to discover her tongue
Touch me daughter, sergeant, and I'll break your fuckin' knees
You're the bastion of misogyny
Protected by the baton of ignorance
They're rising, they're rising
Their chances of surviving
What's really after happening in the field
They're rising, they're rising
But no one's eulogising
What's really after happening in the field
The parish is rising, the parish is rising
In the diocese and the villages that were poisoned
The parish is rising, the parish is rising
To find out what has happened in the field
What kind of mind, debased and rank
Buries babies in a septic tank?
If there's a heaven, Father, then you're going to fuckin' hell
You may not have signed off the heinous crimes
But pulled down the blinds when they came for the answers
They're rising, they're rising
Their chances of surviving
What's really after happening in the field
They're rising, they're rising
But no one's eulogising
What's really after happening in the field
They're rising, they're rising
But no one's televising
What's really after happening in the field
