Bring 'em Down Lyrics - Fairport Convention

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 paper 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 

Stronger than your armies all and braver than the brave? 

Those who know and ?knowing know? will sow on fertile ground 

Those who don't and never would are those you will go down 

Bring 'em down Bring 'em down Bring 'em down 

Bring 'em down Bring 'em down Bring 'em down
