One year we marched together* Through the ripping rains We looked to one another As we pushed ahead in chains One night I said, 'Tomorrow, I can find my own way home' And I know that something followed me That night I walked alone
In darkness I awakened To a devil in my home I drowned him in the water I ground him with the stone I threw him in the fire Put the ashes in a hole But somewhere in the woods that night He somehow got my soul
