Emiliana Torrini - Echo Horse (History Of Horses)

I head the arrows singing
I felt the whips lash
I bowed too low to a circus clown
Worked you land, sown your seeds
And gone hungry

I've taken bullets
I've taken swords
I had a great tumble
And a greater fall
Through your wars

Time it flickers in a flame
The sound of me echoes in the mountain
Heaven and earth still bowed to the sun
That is when I still ruled the plain
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Now I'm tamed and humbled
Nature abandoned me
You humiliated my ancestry
I've eaten blood, covered grass
Next to my dying owner

Time it flickers in a flame
The sound of me echoes in the mountain
Heaven and earth still bowed to the sun
That is when I still ruled the plain
