Sandy Denny - Bring 'em Down Lyrics
Time stood dark and silent and the stars they gave no lightI wandered in an endless dream, haunted by the nightI saw four ghostly riders, the horses in a lineEach in turn did point at me and say a mournful rhymeWe are the sculptors of the land, the rulers of the seaWe are the falcons of your sins, gardeners of the treesThe air about you is burning and the sea below does drownAnd the legacy you leave your spawn will surely bring em downBring em down, bring em down, bring em downBring em down, bring em down, bring em downA curse upon you men of war, with gun or pen in handThe power sought or won or bought, the castles made of sandYou always have good reason to take more than you needYour hearts are full of hatred and your minds are full of greedBring em down, bring em down, bring em downBring em down, bring em down, bring em downWhat is deeper than the ocean, colder than the graveAnd stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave?Those who know and all they know will sow on fertile groundThose who dont and never will are those who will go downBring em down, bring em down, bring em downBring em down, bring em down, bring em down
