Once This Year Lyrics

Why sing so long?
All good is gone
Why sing so long?
All good is gone

Down below my soul is so low
Crowned, extolled, behold love still grows
Down below my soul is so low
Crowned, extolled, behold love still grows

Herod this day
All young children slain
Herod this day
All young children slain
Herod this day
All young children slain
Herod this day
All young children slain
Herod this day, all young children slain

If only once this year you could
Part your hands from older fears
When you think of what remains
If only once tonight you could
Shake your head in real delight
When you think of what remains
Is it strange, is it strange, is it strange
In a world with animals
That the kings are cannibals
Anyway?
Is it strange, is it strange, is it strange
That the earth was split in two
Seperating old from new
Anyway?

And here at night
I was waiting for
I am waiting for
The feild to fill with light
Here at night
I was waiting for
I am waiting for
I am waiting for...
You
You're invited
To never feel the same
You
You're invited
To hear the new refrain
