| Lyrics: | Movement III - Crypt
SHANTY
And so it was that I had grown
Into a youth
uncertain, thrown
Amongst the lions and the lambs.
To pass the time we watched the
children dance.
I used to come here when this place was a crypt.
Now the music plays.
Oh don't you sometimes wish they'd stick to the script
As the local preacher says.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold the harvest grown. R
Ian from
heaven falls down on you,
But me, I feel alone.
PREACHER (sympathetically)
Alone.
SHANTY
Alone.
PREACHER
If they won't come to worship
God in a church
Something must be done.
We have to instigate a nationwide search
For a way to make it fun.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold the harvest
grown.
SHANTY and PREACHER
Rain from heaven falls down on you,
SHANTY
But me, I feel alone.
Alone.
Here now,
What am I doing here now?
Hear
me,
Why do you never hear me?
Why do you never hear me?
MARY DEE (as half-ghost)
I'll always be here.
I'll never leave you.
I'll always be in your mind.
Dreams
of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.
WOMEN'S CHORUS
(Ah)
SHANTY
Thought I had a vision
Lying in a graveyard,
Thought I heard a
melody inside.
Could it be the future,
Speaking with the voice of those who died?
Thought I saw a kingdom,
Happiness and laughter,
Somewhere for an innocent to
play.
Is there any justice?
Do these things still happen in this way?
MARY DEE
Don't tell him no,
It isn't fair.
