Gabriel, listen
I'm in need of a friend
Gabriel would you listen?

Faith alone is a prison
And I can't sleep with the fallen
Gabriel would you listen
If you are here then let me see
I need you now
Please don't leave me
Gabriel, listen

You will speak for the father
And who will speak for the others?
The widows, sons, and the mothers
And I'm so far now from heaven
That I won't question dissenting
Gabriel, listen

Church is fallen
Priests are hard up
If these are your workers
Then is all this love, this earth, this good forsaken?

Gabriel, listen
I'm in need of a friend
Gabriel would you listen?
Faith alone is a prison
And I am one of the fallen
Gabriel wouldn't listen
And Gabriel wouldn't listen
