about

NOAH struggles to escape the feelings of shame created by LJ's FATHER outing him. He's surrounded by his own conscience and acts of violence perpetrated against gay and lesbian people in the ‘60’s.

lyrics

Lamentations

NOAH:OH MY BURDEN, OH MY SORROW
LAMENTATION TO THE LORD MY GOD [Rpt]

TWO WOMEN: I WISH I COULD UNDO MY SIN
I FIND NO PEACE WITHOUT OR WITHIN
NOAH: A DEEP DARK CAVE WITHOUT ANY AIR
PLUNGING TO THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR

NOAH:OH MY BURDEN, OH MY SORROW
LAMENTATION TO THE LORD MY GOD

TWO MEN: REGRETS WILL HOUND ME DAY AND NIGHT
I CAN’T SORT OUT WHAT’S WRONG AND WHAT’S RIGHT
LIKE A PRIS’NER WHO’S JUST WAITING TO DIE
TOO SAD TO LIVE, TOO SHAMEFUL TO TRY

[Chorus with the two WOMEN, two MEN and NOAH]
OH MY BURDEN, OH MY SORROW
LAMENTATION TO THE LORD MY GOD [Rpt.]


CHORUS: ABANDON HOPE ALL YOU WHO COME NEAR
AND LEARN A LESSON FROM HIS FEAR

NOAH: MY LIFE IS GONE YET GOD MAKES ME BREATHE
PLEASE HELP ME LORD,
AND DON’T . . . EVER . . . . LEAVE!

NOAH AND CHORUS: OH MY BURDEN, OH MY SORROW
LAMENTATION TO THE LORD MY GOD
TO THE LORD MY GOD,

NOAH: TO THE LORD
MY GOD!
