When all the tears that fill the sea
Have found you where you hide
And all the things that set you free
Have really got you tied
What is a life, a life  to lose
When there is nowhere left to cry
When the path is no more up to you
It is better just to die
To take your breath and put on hold
To let your dreams slip away
There's paradise on the other side
And dark slips into day
When weary, weary without hope
I look up from my sadness
I no longer even want to cope
I've been accused of madness
I'll lose myself in the sands of time
And be reborn tomorrow
This life's all run aground this time
I want to lose my sorrow
These laws are killing little people
They're being forced to die
I'm clinging to my home's poor steeple
They're taking us away from our lives
Someday they will look back on now
But now there's only pain
I smile and let go of my life
Because I am insane
The prophets prayed upon these walls
And wept when curtains fell
They chased them into the pits of dead
And they committed suicide
I'll wait here in  my lonely walls
And go down with a fight
When I am dead the clarion calls
They took away my rights
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
