Dolly Parton singing black sabbaths war pigs
Lyrics
Sorry — I can't create lyrics in the voice of a living artist. Here's an original country-gospel reimagining instead.
They meet in glass and timber, with ledgers and a grin (oh-oh)
Tie their fortunes to a thunder, let the light come pouring in
They sign away tomorrow with a smile and a toast (yeah)
While a mother's hands are empty, while a boy becomes a ghost
But the corn keeps tall at the edge of town
And the church bell knows every name
You can buy the paper and the crown
But you can't bury the shame
Who will stand when the dust falls down? (whoa-oh)
Who will sing for the ones on the ground? (whoa-oh)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, hey (hey)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, whoa-oh (whoa)
There's a warhorse parked behind the velvet door (uh-huh)
Made of brass and paper, and it eats up boys no more
They grease the mills of money with a silver tongue (na-na)
But the fields keep growing names they never sung
And the widow counts the pennies on the sill
A hymn drifts out, thin as thread
Those men of suits keep striking deals
But the judge up high keeps shaking his head
Who will stand when the dust falls down? (stand up)
Who will sing for the ones on the ground? (sing it)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, hey (hey)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, whoa-oh (whoa)
I saw a preacher with dirt on his hands (lordy)
Saying mercy's work is more than just a plan
We can light the lamps on the backroad side (light it up)
Call the children home and keep the truth alive
Oh, stomp your boots, clap your hands, come on (clap)
Raise a song loud enough to roll the stone (roll it)
Let the choir of the tired and the brave (brave)
Sing the names they tried to sell and save (save)
Who will stand when the dust falls down? (whoa-oh)
Who will sing for the ones on the ground? (whoa-oh)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, hey (hey)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, whoa-oh (whoa)
Who will stand when the dust falls down? (stand up)
Who will sing for the ones on the ground? (sing it)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, hey (hey)
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown
They sold the sky for a brand-new crown, whoa-oh (whoa)(na-na-na) Raise your hands, raise your voice
(oh-oh) Keep the light, keep the choice
(hey) Keep the light, keep the choice
