The Lowly Carpenter |
Come neighbor, get ready to dance for your bread |
My son, I was once where you stand |
There’s a beast with insatiable hunger |
It’s minions need crafters and skilled, working hands |
Needs a fortress high in the hilltops |
And we are the great, chosen crew |
But I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do? |
Oh, misery! |
Call us to rise up at dawn |
To turn whey as fast as we can |
We may be the mortar that cradles the brick |
But i am just one grain of sand |
And don’t tell me i’m tossing the wretched |
It only brings pleasure and pain |
And we are all lowly carpenters, so |
Where we’re taken is where we remain |
And the master shall govern with unbroken backs |
Look down from the top of the hills |
You could cry through the night just as much as you like |
There will always be towers to build |
I coulda been more than some stone-dragging vessel |
I could be more than their wood-cutting slave |
But we are all lowly carpenters, so, what have we power to change? |
And if you can’t take no more, then get out of the way |
For we’ve got a day to get through |
We wire their castles, their prisons, and banks |
Know their mansions from cellar to roof |
We’ve got hammers, and wrenches, and chisels |
We could destroy any great wall we come through |
But I am a lowly carpenter, so, what have i power to do? |
