I saw the trees sway and bend
Outside the Lutheran chapel
Where the so-called sinners go to pray

"Teacher! Teacher!! What's happening?"

"It is only the wind, my dear".

The earth began lurching and rolling
Beneath our feet
We hid, frightened
Underneath the tables

Why didn't they listen?

Heart attack, heart attack
They took him away,
But left 400 behind
And that is where the sinners go to pray
