We Could Not Hear

Beasts, foul and great famine
It happened just as we had feared
There was no noise
There was no sound
We could not hear..
The Word had promised angel voices
Rejoicing fervently and true
For the ones who missed the memo
Their senses mute..
We'll make it back everyone said
We'll join God's army, re-enlist
But God's great army and His chosen
Walked away into the mist
