All Quiet Outside Bracken House

It's all quiet outside Bracken House tonight.
listen: You can't hear a single press rolling.
It's all quiet outside Bracken House tonight,
see the Chapel sitting in the shadow of St Pauls.
There's a blind new peace rising out of the storm tonight,
a gentle soothing calm will be ours tomorrow.
And they've abandoned the moral vigils in Distaff Lane,
brothers, are singing in the pouring rain.
Outside Bracken House

Lon, say a prayer

Lon say a prayer and cast out your vanity,
look in the mirror, see your sanity.
Lon say a prayer, or cry tomorrow.
The candle will flicker
through the gales of sorrow.

Lon say a prayer and I'll pray for you,
for the people we know, reprobates too.
Let's sit down together, open our minds,
shall we pick up the pieces
and see what we find?

Lon say a prayer, value this love.
Make an ode of a happening , float above.
Don't interupt, almost there.
Oh Lon, say a prayer.
