Robert Plant - Carving Up The World Again... A Wall And Not A Fence Lyrics

this album seems a bit slow...this sounds like a jam melody.

Another Kick Butt Tune
11/4/19

Русские, американцы, англичане и французы
Снова кроят мир, напряжение нарастает,
Много амбиций, мало здравого смысла,
Не удивительно что они окружили себя стеной, а не изгородью.

Ирландцы и англичане, шотландцы и валлийцы
Оберегают свою историю, полную влаги и туманов,
Все потерялись в темной древности и в тлеющих родословных,
Невидимое разделение — «за стеной, а не за изгородью».

Беспорядки на границе... в одиннадцатом часу,
Рвы, проволока и заграждения на линии огня,
Вызывайте кавалерию и удвойте охрану,
Приготовьтесь к катастрофе внутри своих карточных домиков.

В Китае забеспокоились, выстроили свою стену,
Большую, длинную и высокую, чтобы защититься от орд,
Сотни лет крови и труда, миллион жизней потрачено,
Стальная хватка династий «за стеной, а не за изгородью».

Беспорядки на границе... в одиннадцатом часу,
Рвы, проволока и заграждения на линии огня,
Вызывайте кавалерию и удвойте охрану,
Приготовьтесь к катастрофе внутри своих карточных домиков.

Императоры и султаны, короли и президенты,
Диктаторы и послы вовлечены, чтоб защитить нас,
Пожизненный сервис, бескорыстные намерения,
Гарантирован иммунитет «за стеной, а не за изгородью».

He nailed it. Man, Robert's gettn' back to what he's best at. Thank God a rocker still looks at the world and hits back. Need it now more than ever.

This album is incredible. His voice is so mature. His wisdom is on point from experience. Thank you Robert Plant, thank you!!!

The Russians, the Americans, the British and their friends
They're carving up the world again, it's getting kind of tense
A whole lot of posture and very little sense
It's no surprise they hide behind a wall and not a fence
The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh
A damp and misty history, they're keeping to themselves
I'll often talk antiquity and smoldering descent
Invisible division, behind a wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border, in the eleventh hour
Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire
Call up the cavalry and double up the guard
Plan for catastrophe inside the house of cards

In China they got worried so they built themselves a wall
They built it big and long and tall to keep away the horde
A hundred years of burning toil, and many lives expent
The steely grip of dynasty, behind a wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border, in the eleventh hour
Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire
Call up the cavalry and double up the guard
Plan for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Trouble at the border, in the eleventh hour
Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire
Call up the cavalry and double up the guard
Plan for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Emperor and sovereigns and kings and presidents
Dictators and ambassadors engage in our defense
A lifetime of good service, of selfless good intent
And guaranteed immunity, behind a wall and not a fence

Trouble at the border, in the eleventh hour
Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire
Call up the cavalry and double up the guard
Plan for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Trouble at the border, in the eleventh hour
Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire
Call up the cavalry and double up the guard
Plan for catastrophe inside the house of cards

Robert Plant has shown that he has still got what it takes to take his fans on a magical tour with his song writing. I really love this album

Yay ! I also Found and Added These Awesome CDs to My Collection Robert !!!
Raising Sand
Manic Nirvana
Fate of Nations
Carry Fire

What a disappointment....Greta Van Fleet is by far better than this crap.

David Kerst- Mr. Kerst, Greta Van Fleet are a band who lives and breathes the 70s, while Robert has moved on and made more substantial work with increasing depth. Both are great, and it's okay that Plants current direction isn't of your taste, but it is in poor taste to say an artist with a huge and varied repertoire that spans 5 decades, frankly, sucks.

Fuck you and this stupid band with name greta van fleet

Shallow silly comment

You don't really mean that!?!? Greta van Fleet? Say what?????

No matter how you look at it this is still Robert Plant nuf said

BUILD THE WALL

still a great voice at his age,

A perfect song for the times we're living in.. Cheers!

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. These lyrics speak volumes & echo from the past to the now in such a relevant way it's insane..

just gets better and better

one of ya best robert its a gem

Plant is back!!!

knock down all the walls and let´s build more bridges

Yes my friend. Greetings from Germany

What is this song about ?

The album's Worst song

EMIRIANOROCHA for me is one of the best :)

EMIRIANOROCHA No, it's a fine song. Waaaay better than The May queen too.

I disagree with the politics behind this song. The US is being invaded right now. And we have every right to protect our borders.

@George Dunn I see where you're coming from, but I'm not certain he was making a specific political comment. I think it's a more general statement about isolationism.

His best since "Fate Of Nations" !

RobertPlant the best !!!
