Lyrics Tumbling Down - Dougie MacLean

Tumbling Down

Seaward they came
On the wings of the wind, on the edge of the flame
Yo these ancient shores
For the cancer they bring, it destroys as it roars
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
White as the snow
And leaving no stone unturned as they go
Your sacred past
They violate and consume to the last
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
Dark black harmony
Has nurtured these plains with a wild mystery
But time’s ruling sword
Is held tight in the hands of oppression’s warlord
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
And it’s tumbling down
You had your chance but it’s tumbling down
