In a foreign land
In a foreign time
Reaping time had come

In a foreign land
In a foreign time
Reaping time had come

I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
We're falling back into
Fields of rape, my love...my love.

And this was the way
And those were the horrors
As father went reaping.

And this was the way
And those were the horrors
As father went reaping.

I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
We're falling back into
Fields of rape, my love...my love.

Crushed, crushed, crushed.
Crushed, crushed, crushed.
Crushed, crushed, crushed.
Mother bleeding.

Crushed, crushed, crushed.
Crushed, crushed, crushed.
Crushed, crushed, crushed.
We stand grinning.

I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
I'm falling back into
Fields of rape (Falling back)
We're falling back into
Fields of rape, my love...my love.

In a foreign land
In a foreign time
Reaping time had come...

    My Interpretation

    The title is also the literal translation of the Latin term 'sub rosa', which is the formal equivalent of the phrase "under the radar". And lest we forget the intentional dual meaning of "rape", as it is also a grain-like plant common to the English countryside...
