lyrics

1.
Is there a psalm to sing
when you’re lost to the blameless king,
when you’re quit by the holy one,
disowned by the righteous son?

Is there a psalm intoned
when you hear you’re to be stoned
and thus banished from the city?
Father, mother show no pity.

Is it you?
I don't know who I'm speaking to.
Oh, I been dreaming of
somebody who's gonna
show me that we’re loved?

2.
Is there a psalm you hear
when all you’ve earned is drawing near,
when the end goes on forever,
and it’s a never-resting Never?

Is there a psalm that’s rung
when the wicked dead are hung
exposed upon a tree?
See how cursèd you can be?

Were you there?
Did I see you there somewhere?
Have I been dreaming of
somebody who's gonna
show me that we’re loved?

3.
Is there a psalm that cries
for everyone that dies
and could do nothing about sin,
who had no harvest to gather in?

Is there a psalm for fear
no friend’s gonna persevere,
to tell me it’s gonna be alright,
so I can face the terror of the night?

Is it you?
I don’t know who I’m speaking to.
Oh, I been dreaming of
somebody who's gonna
show me that we’re loved?

4.
Sorry for this psalm so dark.
I didn’t mean to touch the holy ark.
And am I cast from here to hell?
Did I really hear the warning bell?
