Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

Whom The Gods Would Destroy

Whom the gods would destroy

They'll first make humble

Dreams made of clay

Shatter and crumble

Tumble their way

To a graveyard in time

Whom the gods would destroy

They'll gather like cattle

Deafen their minds

Trumpets with battle

Visions of days

Full of glorious times

Yes, the gods would destroy

Ignore all the sages

Whisper of peace

Send down his wages

Speak right our loud

Against all the inhuman crimes

Well, it's dust to dust

Yes, we'll all fall down

Dust to dust

Turn to dust on the ground

And the gods will decide

For always and ever

As they side by side

March into never

Of one weary path

For the hawk and the dove

Yes, the gods would destroy

The victors the vanquished

The high and the low

A world that is anguished

A world that is failed

Forgotten how to love

Well, it's dust to dust

Oh, we'll all fall down

Dust to dust

Turn to dust on the ground

We'll all fall down

We'll all fall down
