about

My favourite track on the album. A rackety, clattery, rabble-rousing exercise in rough music. Apparently I don't sound angry enough when I sing it.

lyrics

Bring You Down
(Anon)

Awake, ye lords of tyranny,
And rise up from your feather bed,
We’ll strip you of your finery
And whip you through the town;

The new day is upon you now,
Your time is gone, your power is fled!
No more as slaves to you we’ll bow;
We come to bring you down!

You princes who by right of blood
Have claimed dominion o’er the earth
Shall crawl and grovel in the mud
And mourn your tarnished crown;

No patents from the olden time,
No accident of noble birth,
Shall shield you from the fruit of crime;
We come to bring you down!

We’ll trample down your barricades,
We’ll overwhelm your horse brigades,
With picks and mattocks, stones and spades,
We’ll fight for our desire;

We’ll sell the symbols of your state,
The wealth you thought inviolate
Will purchase food for every plate
And fuel for every fire!

You prelates who have told us oft
That God ordains the state of man,
Have held your holy book aloft
And quelled us with your frown,

We now proclaim a higher creed,
A fairer world, a nobler plan;
From those who have to those who need—
We come to bring you down!

We are no simple lawless mob
Who come to pillage and to rob
But workers here to do a job
That long has lain undone;

And when the job has been fulfilled
We’ll work together and rebuild
The better world that we have willed
Where all may live as one....

Come out, come out, ye masters all,
And face the judgment of your peers
The world that you have held in thrall
Is turning upside-down;

Come out and make your true redress
For all the black and wasted years
In which you ruled in idleness
Unmindful of the poor’s distress
The laws of God you dared transgress
The suffering souls you did oppress
The treachery and knavishness
That we will force you to confess—
We come to bring you down!

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves. ... more
