Brian Sauvé - Such Clever Follies lyrics

Artist: Brian Sauvé

album: Even Dragons Shall Him Praise


The nations rush as roaring seas
They speak great things
They scheme and plot their vanity
And multiply
Such clever follies; visions see
Oh man, so wise
Oh man, so wise
Oh, woman Folly-clanging, loud
A clanging thing
Barren as winter, bitter as
Wormwood gall
Where are your children
Whence this blood
Apollyon
Apollyon
Oh, sons of men with bloody hands
And violent loves
Oh Molech's children, piling skulls
Of little ones
Empires of dirt, fell kings of rust
Gehenna's lords
Gehenna's lords
But for all your words, oh man
All your clever follies, and
Your Babels piercing clouds
You're just dust and potter's clay
Kiss the son, lest in his way
He dash you to the ground
Who is this who speaks without
Knowledge, and whose words abound
Who utters such great things
Gird up now your loins and hear
Clever man, now learn to fear
In sackcloth, clothe yourself
But for all your words, oh man
All your clever follies, and
Your babels piercing clouds
You're just dust and potter's clay
Kiss the son, lest in his way
He dash you to the ground
