And It Came Falling
Choirs of evil with lethal guns or microphones
Drumming with bomb here and there
Rain of fear pouring on all and sundry
Going to farm alone,
A forbidden mission
Some child missing
The rulers kissing
Wealth of the nation the real thing they savour
"Dream on your bed and wake in the monster's cave"
The danger that looms
Tears of mothers in the forest
In futile search of the ribs missing
Prick the heaven in its honest
And it came falling
Falling,
The home is falling
The evil we nurse' and shield' falling
In pity the world' watching
No place to hide
Oh Saviour, take our side
Save us
