How The Mighty Are Falling lyrics
You show your power
To the trembling flowers
As you scratch one more notch in your gun
You’re misunderstood
Inside you’re really good
But they say that about ev’ryone

You say it’s God’s will
That it’s kill or be killed
As you throw a slab of meat on the grill
You don’t wanna talk
You walk the John Wayne walk
But your stare is fixed upon Boot Hill

But you’d better heed the warning
It’s the dawning of a New Morning
Coz how the mighty are falling

You say they hate you
That they all wait for you
To turn your back or to fall asleep
It’s eye for an eye
But have yours ever cried
Have you ever turned the other cheek?

Your guns are bigger
Finger’s on the trigger
You feel a stranger in your own land
But the time has come
There’s nowhere left to run
To hold an olive branch in your hand

For you’d better heed the warning
It’s the dawning of a New Morning
And how the mighty are falling

What is it you need
Is it to see men bleed
Don’t forget that they breathe and hurt too
You can bring peace
From the west to the east
Treat them like you want them to treat you

Choose life and light now
Turn your swords into ploughs
Don’t let darkness rule as your landlord
It’s never too late
To change your road of fate
The pen is mightier than the sword

So you’d better heed the warning
It’s the dawning of a New Morning
See how the mighty are falling
