Bring ’em down lyrics

Artist  : Sandy denny 
Song : Bring ’em down
 
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

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
