1. You spent your life remembering me
And I remember your wound in passion

2. So let us mock hope
And from our depths let us laugh

3. And let us mock the world
And let us frolic with the heedless

4. I folded the page of yesterday
So leave it in God's hands

5. Such is the world as it was
And what good is preaching

6. It neither blamed nor betrayed
But luck betrayed you

7. We wanted glory and gold
But the Lord was not gracious

8. And this life has passed
It is best to let it go
