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
