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
There's a church falling down
A church falling down
Abandoned' forsaken, left out in the rain
There's a church falling down
It ain't right
