Death of MacGlachlan's Farm

Scarecrow hangs upon his cross
Ravens come-
The battle lost
Between the rows the corn lies down
Like soldiers on the killing ground

Homestead stands on Calvary
Well run dry
The barns all lean
Livestock gone for sacrifice
To gods of Enterprise

But he remembers horses running, running, running
He remembers horses

To every seed its harvest time
Time has its way
And time is blind
There’s a crack in the prophesy
The horn of plenty sits empty

Oh where are the offerings now
Beneath the oak
To bless the plow
Gone on to Avalon in a ship of steel
Left to ages the fallow fields

But he remembers horses running, running, running
He remembers horses
