1
No doubt you've heard of Solomon, the wisest man on earth,
2
He saw with perfect clarity,
3
He would spit on the cursed hour of his birth
4
And say that all was vanity
5
How deep and wise was Solomon
6
And see before the night descends
7
He longed to taste oblivion
8
He started wise but as a fool he ends
9
Oh wisdom's fine, we're glad we've none
10
Then Julius Caesar, mighty one, raised high his royal rod,
11
So brave he tore the world apart,
12
So they voted and changed their Caesar to a God,
13
And drove a dagger through his heart
14
How loud he screamed, "You too, my son"
15
And see before the night descends
16
His reign had only just begun
17
So brave, but screaming out in fear he ends
18
Brave hearts are grand, thank God we've none.
19
Saint Martin sang his benison, his pity flowereth
20
He met a man lost in the snows
21
The wretched man was freezing so the Saint gave him his clothes
22
Of course the two men froze to death.
23
The pearly gates no doubt he won
24
And see before the night descends
25
So kind beyond comparison
26
Warm-hearted but beneath the ice he ends.
27
Oh pity's great, thank God we've none
28
At last our final yarn's been spun we ask you gentle souls
29
What use our loving heaven's been?
30
In your kitchens you're all safe and soft within,
31
We stand without with empty bowls
32
God's love has left us here undone
33
And see before the night descends
34
The meek are always overrun
35
And virtue leads us to our wretched ends
36
Folks do better, who have none
