Movement Iii - Crypt 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. 
For he was told by those who know 
There was love everywhere. 

SHANTY 
Love everywhere. 

MARY DEE 
Now`s the time to tell him, 
While his mother`s crying. 
Break it to him gently as she weeps. 
Let him know his father 
Will be well looked after, where he sleeps. 

CHORUS (ghosts) 
He`s sleeping amongst us. 
He`s in our dreams. 
Don`t worry. he`s with us now. 

SHANTY 
Don`t say it`s so, 
It isn`t fair. 
For I was told by those who know 
There was love everywhere. 

Alone.
