Based on a true story. It happened in Germany. The name is changed.

lyrics

Soul of the church


Frank was homeless, the church took him in, in the basement
The old priest, his own mercy, his decision

Frank in return, helped where he could, and he felt good
Never missed a mass, singing last row, bad but loud

Frank always smiled, tween his full beard, friendly and kind
People soon called him, the soul of the church, soul of the church

The priest was old, older than Frank, and one day
The priest said, doctor told me, to say goodbye

Frank slept sound, when the new priest, came around
He woke him, and he told Frank, he couldn't stay

One last night, they agreed on, then you move on
The next morning, they found Frank hanging, in the basement

The new priest sent, thoughts and prayers, more for himself
Because he knew, what he had done, to the soul of the church

The soul of the church, had took his life, in the basement
Before he'd lose, his people and bed, he hanged himself

To lose the things, that kept him alive, was too much
To much for Frank, for his kind smile, and for his life

The people knew, what happened and how, it was wrong
They stopped singing, with the new priest, to any church song
