Rulers rule, and foolers fool
How easily the flock is steered
By hands so fine, cruel and kind
Hands that point us down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down, down the years
The power of gold, or even God above
Awash in blood in history's mud
Slaying and praying down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down, down the years
Sex and money, like birds of prey
Feed on the betrayer and the betrayed
Time's demon lovers go from poison cups
Their lying and plotting just got too much
And your paper heroes - they'll turn to dust
Like our knights in armor - they turn to rust
Go hang the scapegoat; let the masses cheer
Their idiot laughter an anthem down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down the years
Down, down the years

From golden throne to marble floor
And laurelled heads that turn and stare
With swords of silver and golden hair

Standing in the ruins
Let's raise a glass
Not to the future
Just to the past
The flower blooms
The flower dies

Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were a-talking
Your f...
With eyes of sunlight, like burning sand
Went to the west, rode to the east
Heard of life and honour, looked into the eyes of the beast
Stood in a cit...
I wait here by the coast, in the company of ghosts
I sit and watch the world go by, sometimes I just sit and cry
Just another English murder, a poster...
And for our crimes there'll be damnation
The blood of the past, it does bathe us
The fingers point to blame and claim us
And without love we are lost
