Man Of Iron Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Where are you riding to Sir Knight 

Alone and armed for war? 

If not to fight for right Sir Knight 

Then what are weapons for? 

 

Why d'you hide your face Sir Knight 

Within a face of iron? 

The more you shield your eyes from light 

The more you'll make them blind. 

 

Turn your horse for home Sir Knight 

Your hawk and hounds are waiting. 

Your lady does not sleep at night 

She fears the hand of fate tonight. 

 

Turn your face towards the sun 

And listen to the minutes run 

Oh can't you feel the warning breeze 

And hear the whisper in the trees? 

 

Look behind you, man of iron 

And your children call and do 

Not find you and a wall of silent 

Laughter scornes the chorus of their cries. 

 

Was this the end you chose, Sir Knight? 

Was this why you were born so bright? 

The wolves will chew your bones tonight 

It is your brother's hand you hold so tight. 

Your brother's blood, your brother's life, 

Your brother's love, your brother's knife.
