Sandy Denny - Man Of Iron Lyrics
Where are you riding to sir knightAlone and armed for war?If not to fight for right sir knightThen what are weapons for?Why dyou hide your face sir knightWithin a face of iron?The more you shield your eyes from lightThe more youll make them blind.Turn your horse for home sir knightYour hawk and hounds are waiting.Your lady does not sleep at nightShe fears the hand of fate tonight.Turn your face towards the sunAnd listen to the minutes runOh cant you feel the warning breezeAnd hear the whisper in the trees?Look behind you, man of ironAnd your children call and doNot find you and a wall of silentLaughter scornes the chorus of their cries.Was this the end you chose, sir knightWas this why you were born so bright?The wolves will chew your bones tonightIt is your brothers hand you hold so tight.Your brothers blood, your brothers life,Your brothers love, your brothers knife
