All Lay Down
As I walked to cross the barren land
I found a path - trodden and beaten
Leads me through a golden winding stream from old
Where ancient people passed
They never fought among themselves
Though battle cries were heard for miles around
But people on the hill
People on the hill looked down
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
They lived their life on simple things
Their fingers bled and clothing torn to shred
Hunting for the food and fire to
Keep them warm in winter's harsher air
Fighting for the right to stay alive
And so it's said, and keep their families fed
They never fought among themselves
Though battle cries were heard for miles around
But people on the hill
People on the hill looked down
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
We rage into the fire of an endless wailing sword
That's fraught from death and war
Still people on the hill
People on the hill look down
Looking back as I move away I hear no sound
Of fighting and destruction
Moments I was lost in time
I walked around where ancient people passed
The stream and path have disappeared
Just foot-stained grass left on the hill
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
I found a path - trodden and beaten
Leads me through a golden winding stream from old
Where ancient people passed
They never fought among themselves
Though battle cries were heard for miles around
But people on the hill
People on the hill looked down
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
They lived their life on simple things
Their fingers bled and clothing torn to shred
Hunting for the food and fire to
Keep them warm in winter's harsher air
Fighting for the right to stay alive
And so it's said, and keep their families fed
They never fought among themselves
Though battle cries were heard for miles around
But people on the hill
People on the hill looked down
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
We rage into the fire of an endless wailing sword
That's fraught from death and war
Still people on the hill
People on the hill look down
Looking back as I move away I hear no sound
Of fighting and destruction
Moments I was lost in time
I walked around where ancient people passed
The stream and path have disappeared
Just foot-stained grass left on the hill
And they all lay down
And they all lay down
And I've run aground
Don't you look back
Don't you look back
