Oh God You Hang There Dying In The Night

written by: Shelly

Oh God, you hang there dying in the night
Allowing fear to strike like a piercing blade
Why have you left us in this dimming light?

Father, who once lived in great delight
Now sulks and sobs 'neath the darkening shade
Oh God, you hang there dying in the night.

Juliek's violin music was pure, despite
The silent darkness, from which he was afraid
Why have you left us in this dimming light?

Zalman, strong and faithful, yet with no fight
Was trampled severely beneath a human cascade
Oh God, you hang there dying in the night.

The pipel with sad eyes, an angelic Wight
The end of my beliefs, I never prayed
Why have you left us in this dimming light?

His tongue red, eyes not glassy yet, holding tight
To life, but still into silent darkness, he faded.
Oh God, you hang there dying in the night,
Why have you left us in this dimming light?
