The Choir

The  Choir  -  Arkells

The  graveyard  is  waiting

The  church  to  let  up

The  church  to  let  up  on  Friday  morning

The  pastor  is  preaching

Tears  in  his  eyes

The  shots  were  set  off  without  warning

The  isles  don't  see

Much  traffic  these  days

Not  even  for  Sunday  service

Inside  these  walls

So  sacred  and  sanct

You  wouldn't  think  to  be  nervous

Let  the  choir  keep  singing

Those  songs  that  no  one  wants  to  hear

Let  the  daylight  remind  us

Those  hymns  are  falling  on  deaf  ears

Everyone  said

"We  can  forgive"

18  years  worth  celebrating

This  ain't  the  day

For  finding  the  truth

And  now  all  these  questions  keep  begging

Let  the  choir  keep  singing

Those  songs  that  no  one  wants  to  hear

Let  the  daylight  remind  us

Those  hymns  are  falling  on  deaf  ears.
