pj harvey - dance on the mountain (unreleased track)

unreleased track that features in the BBC 4's drama " On Kosovo Field" and inspired the narrative

Kalashnikovs were brought across
the mountain on the back of mules
They stored their weapons
in a school
There's something wrong
Something terrifying
Something terrifying

And now the slopes of dry grass
hold crouching boys
watch their fathers dance
Holding hands they follow the drums
Something terrifying is going on

The oldest dancer
takes off his hat
to place a glass of water
on his head
bares his teeth
wakes the dead
this is their land
they dance upon
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying
Something terrifying

The dancer falls
to kneel before
the village elder
stains on his shirt

Rising up
growing strong
the boy children
start to dance
It's terrifying

In the distance people call
like a river running home
In the distance people call
like a river calling out
In the distance people call
in the oldest language known

It's terrifying
