I've wept for those who suffer long

Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong

But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings

If God be willing (Riff 1)

And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen

Your many virtues laid to waste

No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate

Throw us a bone, you men of great
