Moving out from the valley, marching into war
I love to hear that sound
Horses straining in harness haul against the ground
And pull the battle wagon on and on
Down to the badlands
Count the bodies on my crown
Can’t go home, brothers, ‘til your work is done
Can’t come home, sisters, but God will lead us there
God is great, brothers, we will not despair
Put your torch to the counting house, salt in their fields
Leave them hanging in the sun
And the oils of the badlands are going to shine on our shields
When their daughters come to cut them down
Thus to the badlands
Count the bodies on my crown
Can’t go home, brothers, until your work is done
Can’t come home, sisters, but God will lead us there
God is great, brothers, we will not despair
Count the stars over Bethlehem
Count the bodies on my crown
