Oh, yonder stands the prophet, words are music to our ears
G D C D
But down among the sinners, only pain and sweat and tears
Em C G D
Oh, the sermon soothes the simple but the rest are rapt with fear
Em C G D Em C G D G
Ohhhh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial

In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past

And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
Em C G D
To believe is true religion but to see is truth at last
Em C G D Em G C G D G
Ohhhh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
