| Why sing so long all good is gone
|
| Down below my soul is so low
|
| Crowned extolled behold love still grows
|
| Herod this day all young children slain
|
| If only once this year you could part your hands from older fears
|
| When you think of what remains
|
| If only once tonight you would shake your head in real delight
|
| When you think of what remains
|
| Is it strange, is it strange
|
| Is it strange in a world of animals
|
| That the kings are cannibals anyway
|
| Is it strange, is it strange
|
| Is it strange that the earth was split in two
|
| Separating old from new anyway
|
| And here at night I was waiting for
|
| I am waiting for the field to fill with light
|
| Here at night I was waiting for
|
| I am waiting for I am waiting for you
|
| You’re invited to never feel the same
|
| You, you’re invited to hear the new refrain |
