Down the Castle
(a plea for peace)

we run from love
how well, how well we run
from every soft hello beneath the sun
every war declared is a motherless child
every lover's storm
a sunshower blown wild

how sad to see, how sad the state of things
with every gun shot blast a swallow sings
the prince is on his throne but the bullet is lost
yet another life unknown
another love wasted

down the castle down the crown
all the kings men will tumble down
if it werent for love we'd all be blind
to mercy

if it werent for love we'd all run blind
from all the reasons we can find
the sovereign house & human kind
could lead this world to peace

we run from love
how far, how far we run
toward the darkest hour
far from the sun
her rays could warm our hearts & they'd still never burn
my fellow man my friend
will you never learn love?
