Church On Fire

The room was dark
 The moon was shining bright
 I held you and we kissed goodnight
 Then through the window
 That ungodly light
 Was I asleep were you awake
 Did I arrive just too late
 Is there something you're not saying
 I should know
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Why is everything we love
 Burning to the ground
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
 The saints and sinners in the stained glass
 They whisper to me as I pass
 There's nothing in this world that lasts
 Did someone toss a match away
 A careless gesture, who can say
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Why is everything we love
 Burning to the ground
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
 A shout came from the second floor
 And someone ran out the back door
 Could he have been the parish priest
 A worshipper trapped in the heat
 Or was he the one who set the flames to burn
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Why is everything we love
 Burning to the ground
 Tell me who set this church on fire
 Is everything that's sacred fallin' down
