Oh, do not let the sun fall in despair
As desolation haunts our souls today
Leaving us in darkness cold and bare
Can’t some God or other make life fair?
I bet they’re angry , we no longer pray
Oh, do not let the sun fall in despair
There is no father, mother anywhere
No priest to bless the house , its ghosts to lay
Leaving us in darkness cold and bare
I fear the sun is heavier than air;
Though what is Mass, some form of ecstasy?
Oh, do not let the sun fall in despair
Who holds up the pillars, who would dare
While scholars smile at such complexity?
All their minds are focused on the rare
The broken altars crack, whoever cares?
The Church has never been what Jesus saw
Oh, do not let our hearts fall to despair
Living in such darkness cold and bare
