I Don't Want To Bring Your Gods Down Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

(Spoken Intro) 

People 

This is not a film 

This is my song 

Now pick up your shovel and 

Dig 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

Their flesh and blood for you too real 

The wine that flows from their nostrils 

Too red 

Their master strokes too fundamental 

Their saint soaked cathedrals too done 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

The ferocity of their cat claws too steel 

And we the weak kneed weeds of their 

Weaker breed never paused to feel 

We're not the masters of the land we survey 

But I guess you'd come to that conclusion 

When you're ready in your own time anyway 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

I don't want to bring your Gods down babe 

Because their armour and their crest cuts too deep 

And the cold landcliffs where they rest are far too steep 

But I just wanna say to you that like your 

Gods, your guilt and your beliefs I too wanna be 

With you 'til the very end babe
