Forgotten Ground Lyrics - Zeitgeist - Levellers

Come onto me, it's easy for a long life 

Don't be denied forever under the night 

Come along 

To be this free 

Is what you want to 

Breaking the line forever under the sun 

It will be done together for each to be one 

Come along 

To be is easy 

Taking the stars 

Across the road at the end of this place 

It's not far and anyone can go there 

It's waste ground 

There's no name on this place 

But it always has and always will be there 

There's no fence, no walls, no fools 

Just the summer sun 

And what you choose 

But was it only yesterday 

Tomorrow came 

And handed you the tools 

To burn it down 

Your forgotten ground 

The golden bough with a rope 

Lies there for you to climb 

Higher and higher 

But by this rope you can hang 

If you've forgotten why it was 

You came there 

And you burn it down 

Your forgotten ground 

When you are old and see this 

Know this is cold 

That when the sun rises 

Tall shadows will hold 

The ground you loved 

To you is broken 

Taken from you 

And I carve my name 

And then you wrote yours 

The black smoke 

Will rise up to cover the stars 

Nothing said to be forever 

Except for the night 

That will come 

When we burn you down
