Behold A Pale Rider Lyrics - Artist : Levellers
Bombs go off in London
Stirring panics rhythmic creep The city turns it's shoulders Smooths the cracks and tries to sleep Split the Gulf sky red As the oil fields start to blow And weep a heavy storm of, black black rain Onto the earth below And the millions cried, "Sweet Mary!" A million more cried tears of shame When they saw what they had done in the name of all of their hopes and fears When they realised what they became In hidden Eastern passes That defenders will not yield To a soldier from the Edgeware Road Come to burn the poppy-fields And the millions cried, "Sweet Mary!" Million more cried tears of shame When they saw what they had done in the name of all of their hopes and fears When they realised what they became Behold a pale rider A New World partisan 20 years still with the desert dust Slipping slowly through his hands And from the water margins To Death Row Guantanamo You can hear that King's Cross countdown As the detonators blow And the millions cried, "Sweet Mary!" Million more cried tears of shame When they saw what they had done in the name of all their hopes and fears When they realised what they became Behold a pale rider A New World partisan 20 years still with the desert dust Slipping slowly through his hands |
