The Levellers

The Levellers were a political movement active during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms who were committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.The Levellers came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War (1642–1646) and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War (1648–49). Leveller views and support were found in the populace of the City of London and in some regiments in the New Model Army. Their ideas were presented in their manifesto "Agreement of the People".

Come onto me, it's easy for a long life
Don't be denied forever under the night 
Come along
To be this free
Is what you want to

Breaking the line forever under the sun
It will be done together for each to be one
Come along 
To be is easy 
Taking the stars 

Across the road at the end of this place 
It's not far and anyone can go there 
It's waste ground
There's no name on this place 
But it always has and always will be there

There's no fence, no walls, no fools
Just the summer sun
And what you choose
But was it only yesterday 
Tomorrow came 
And handed you the tools 
To burn it down 
Your forgotten ground 

The golden bough with a rope
Lies there for you to climb
Higher and higher
But by this rope you can hang
If you've forgotten why it was
You came there 
And you burn it down 
Your forgotten ground 

When you are old and see this
Know this is cold
That when the sun rises
Tall shadows will hold 
The ground you loved
To you is broken
Taken from you

And I carve my name 
And then you wrote yours 
The black smoke 
Will rise up to cover the stars 
Nothing said to be forever
Except for the night 
That will come
When we burn you down
