"The Stand" Lyrics

Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and take the stand

Oh I have been out searching
With the black book in my hand
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
And he walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name

Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, we'll make the stand

As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march (play the march)
Play the funeral march"

Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, we'll make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker
Come on down and make the stand
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, we'll make the stand

When I looked out the window On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved
It had no epitaph engraved.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on
And make the stand

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on
Come on, Come on,Come on
Come on,Come on,Come on,
Come on
And we'll make the stand

And make the stand

Come roll out the red carpet come buglar
sound the horn the hero is returning
you've got to welcome him to his home
Don't say I didn't warn you this prophecy is coming true
I can hear cavalry thundering Riding over the hill
Riding over the hill

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on & make the stand.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.

(repeat)

Come on
AND WE'LL MAKE THE STAND
