something the boy said

• sting'in ten summoners tales albümünden... bedelleri olan bir seyahat üzerine yazılmış sözler, ölüm yolculuğunu ve son gemiyi de hatırlatıyor.
  
  dominic miller'ın gitarla yarattığı atmosfer büyüler.
  
  sözleri:
  
  when we set out on this journey
  there were no doubts in our minds
  we set our eyes to the distance
  we would find what we would find
  we took courage from our numbers
  what we sought we did not fear
  sometimes we’d glimpse a shadow falling
  the shadow would disappear
  but our thoughts kept returning
  to something the boy said
  as we turned to go
  he said you’ll never see our faces again
  you’ll be food for a carrion crow
  every step we took today
  our thoughts would always stray
  from the wind on the moor so wild
  to the words of the captain’s child
  something the boy said
  in the circles we made with our fires
  we talked of the pale afternoon
  the clouds were like dark riders
  flying on the face of the moon
  we spoke our fears to the captain
  and asked what his son could know
  for we would never have marched so far
  to be food for a crow
  every step we took today
  our thoughts would always stray
  from the wind on the moor so wild
  to the words of the captain’s child
  something the boy said
  when i awoke this morning
  the sun’s eye was red as blood
  the stench of burning corpses
  faces in the mud
  am i dead or am i living?
  i’m too afraid to care, i’m too afraid to know
  i’m too afraid to look behind me
  at the feast of the crow
  we spoke our fears to the captain
  and asked what his son could know
  for we would never have marched so far
  to be food for a crow
  something the boy said
• sound olarak the soul cages albümüyle aynı renkteki şarkı.
• single olarak yayınlanmadığı halde, kendisine video klip çekilmiş ender rock şarkılarından biridir. ayrıca bana göre ten summoner's tales albümünün de en iyi parçaları arasındadır. klibini merak edenler aşağıdaki bağlantıdan ulaşabilirler;
