The fields are silent The woodlands are still The plague is upon us To cripple and kill Lead us to salvation, mercy on our plight If we see tomorrow, lead us to the light Here the plague is with us Only God knows why? Prayers will go unanswered When it's your turn to die Here in isolation, families sit and wait Hoping for a miracle from the hands of fate See our friends and neighbors Crosses on their door Will we be survivors? Mourning evermore In the night you sooth my brow Help me understand this sacrifice The morning light may prove somehow If God can roll the dice There's peace without a price? Is this retribution? For sinners from the past Every day new victims, who will be the last? The plague was sent to try us Hear the reverend say But who will still be standing Come our judgement day? In the night you sooth my brow Help me understand this sacrifice The morning light may prove somehow If God can roll the dice There's peace without a price?
