Farndon Field

from FAWM Demos 2019 by Frances Smith

/

lyrics

They cut her down in Farndon field
she'd been the gatherer of herbs
that she lay across the floors
where the marching men would walk
for victory, and defeated, passed her by
right or wrong

She'd been there to make the scented night
dressed in words, and songs
but there their bodies lay
the grass was wet with blood
no one could bury them that day
night moved on

One hundred women without names
had followed a court, a king, a train
but in the righteousness of minds
their deaths were justified, and lines
of bodies left to decay
light was gone

By morning were they found or lost
no words were hard beside the cross
that in the churchyard stood
with too many graves that must be dug
who would bury nameless souls
fight goes on
