Our 23

Animals paired off two by two…
Picked this place, Built a church for you…
This town of fire and flood too…
You warned Noah didn’t you…?

See these hands, They work for you…
We put our crippled faith in you…
Family and friends, Our children too…
In the dark of night, Out of the blue…?

We are lost…How can we carry on…?

You burned our land down to the ground…
But left our houses safe and sound…
So grateful that you saved our town…!!!
Until the rain came falling down…

We are lost…How can we carry on…?

A torrent was cast down by you…
A river or earth, Fire and brimstone too…
Our 23 that you slew…
Why’d you take our love with you…?

You can have our land… You can have our town…
You can have our homes… You can tear them down…

There’s mystery in all you do…
But, why’d you take our love with you…?
Did you have to take our love with you…
Why’d you take our love – with – you…?

We are lost…How can we carry on…?
