Fairport Convention - 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 I'm on full ?rein?We 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 ?swan? 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 sword or . . . the castles made of sandYou always have good reason to take more than you needYour hearts are full of paper 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 graveStronger than your armies all and braver than the brave?Those who know and ?knowing know? will sow on fertile groundThose who don't and never would are those you will go downBring 'em down Bring 'em down Bring 'em downBring 'em down Bring 'em down Bring 'em down
