Song of Despair

one step then the next
is all we dare attempt
no sound at all except
a song of despair

with all to lose and all to fear
the world's end must be near
and you and i can clearly hear
a song of despair

  down fell the town
  down it came in a shower of fire
  still they fill the church
  but now the devil leads the choir

they say be strong, don't give in
for time heals everything
but i hear millions sing
a song of despair
