He Sang A Plain Song

Bring on the great silence The battles are gone And hear not a tear Nor the piper at dawn Lock the gates to the highway Surrender the sky Cast the shadows of everyman From his eye Come down from the mountain The valley atones The river of darkness Runs deep through the stones Lock the gates to the highway Surrender the sky Cast the shadows of everyman From his eye The winds of the desert The winds of the snow The winds of the ocean Desolate ice flows Lock the gates to the highway Surrender the sky Cast the shadows of everyman From his eye He sang a plain song
