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
