Loss of the spirit followed loss of the heart Ashes were scattered and drifted apart A heart that is lost can never be the same When love turns to hurt and hurt turns to blame
There's a church falling down A church falling down Sacred secrets spoken out loud There's a church falling down It ain't right
Sister, mama, lover, little child I'm so sick and sorry now Oaths from the altar, memories won Mysteries and natures coming undone
There's a church falling down A church falling down Something holy thrown down on the ground There's a church falling down It ain't right
Well, you warned me and I heard you But I didn't hear you right I was wounded and wailing Lost from the light The promises and omens Turned out all the same When love turned to hurt and Hurt turned to blame
There's a church falling down A church falling down Abandoned' forsaken, left out in the rain There's a church falling down It ain't right
