Gregg’s Church Song

From “Shortest Night,” a Night in the Woods fanfic

by Thorin N. Tatge

Shattered church window
Sparkles on the floor
Angry desecration
in the house of the Lord
People want salvation
People want relief
Who would do such damage?
It was no common thief

Sitting in the pew to hear what they have to say
About the ways of who they say works in mysterious ways
Nothing they can tell us will make sense any more
With fragments of the window scattered over the floor
Yeah, fragments of the window scattered over the floor…

Shattered church window
Saints in disrepair
Swing a baseball bat,
it’s like they never were there.
People want protection
People want to live
Sometimes smashing windows
the best gift you can give

Sitting in the churchyard when the sun reappears
and hearing God say things God never meant for non-godly ears
Nothing God can tell us will make sense any more
With fragments of the window scattered over the floor…
Fragments of the window
Fragments of the window
Fragments of the window scattered over the floor!
