Sandy Denny - Bring 'em Down lyrics
Your rating:
Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no light I wandered in an endless dreamhaunted by the night I saw four ghostly ridersthe horses in a line Each in turn did point at me and say a mournful rhyme We are the sculptors of the landthe rulers of the sea We are the falcons of your sinsgardeners of the trees The air about you is burning and the sea below does drown And the legacy you leave your spawn will surely bring 'em down Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down A curse upon you men of warwith gun or pen in hand The power sought or won or boughtthe castles made of sand You always have good reason to take more than you need Your hearts are full of hatred and your minds are full of greed Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down What is deeper than the oceancolder than the grave And stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave? Those who know and all they know will sow on fertile ground Those who don't and never will are those who will go down Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down Bring 'em downbring 'em downbring 'em down
