Something happened here in this cold deserted place
Where mighty walls have vanished leaving not a trace
Something's not quite right where ravens cast a guilty eye
And hidden reason still continues to deny

But, Mary, I can feel your pain
I can hear your heart breaking
On the silent fields of Fotheringay
I can hear your heart breaking

We give our might to men who take it as their own
And in our name destroy with every thrown stone
We stand the simple fools we watch them break it down
But the stolen voice lies silent it cannot make a sound

But, Mary, I can feel your pain
I can hear your heart breaking
On the silent fields of Fotheringay
I can hear your heart breaking

We've found a darkness here belief has withered well away
And time has sacrificed but no one dares to say

But, Mary, I can feel your pain
I can hear your heart breaking
On the silent fields of Fotheringay
I can hear your heart breaking
