Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention - Bring 'em Down lyrics

Your rating:

I wandered in an endless dream, haunted by the night
I saw four ghostly riders, the horses in a line
Each in turn did point at me and say I'm on full ?rein?

We are the sculptors of the land, the rulers of the sea
We are the falcons of your sins, gardeners of the trees
The air about you is burning and the sea below does drown
And the legacy you leave your ?swan? will surely bring 'em down

Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down
Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down

A curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in hand
The power sword or  . . .  the castles made of sand
You always have good reason to take more than you need
Your hearts are full of paper and your minds are full of greed

Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down
Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down

What is deeper than the ocean, colder than the grave
Stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave?
Those who know and ?knowing know? will sow on fertile ground
Those who don't and never would are those you will go down

Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down
Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down    Bring 'em down
