Emilíana Torrini - Echo Horse

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

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

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

Now I'm tamed and humbled
Nature abandoned me
You humiliated my ancestry
I've eaten blood covered grass
Next to my dying owner, mmmm

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