Bring 'em Down

Sandy Denny

    Continues after the ad

    Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no light
    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 a mournful rhyme

    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 spawn will surely bring 'em down

    Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
    Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down

    Continues after the ad

    A curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in hand
    The power sought or won or bought, the 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 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
    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 down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
    Bring 'em down, bring 'em down, bring 'em down
