Loss of the spirit followed loss of the heart
Ashes were scattered and drifted apart
A heart that is lost can never be the same
When love turns to hurt and hurt turns to blame

There's a church falling down
A church falling down
Sacred secrets spoken out loud
There's a church falling down
It ain't right

Sister, mama, lover, little child
I'm so sick and sorry now
Oaths from the altar, memories won
Mysteries and natures coming undone

There's a church falling down
A church falling down
Something holy thrown down on the ground
There's a church falling down
It ain't right

Well, you warned me and I heard you
But I didn't hear you right
I was wounded and wailing
Lost from the light
The promises and omens
Turned out all the same
When love turned to hurt and
Hurt turned to blame
