Bless us St. Quarantine
Patron saint of broken dreams
We pray you you'll hear our call
As heavens fall
Won't you save us all
Guide us to better ways
Put an end to wasted days
Under the moon and sun
Heal us everyone
Yes everyone
So we can plan for a new tomorrow
Free from all the pain of sorrow
Knowing our faith hides in the unforeseen
We won't be fooled by grand illusions
Only truth for all conclusions
We promise you this oh St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
Are these the end of days
Or just a passing phase
There's so much we just don't know
Can you tell us so
Are we good to go
Patron saint of broken dreams
We pray you you'll hear our call
As heavens fall
Won't you save us all
Guide us to better ways
Put an end to wasted days
Under the moon and sun
Heal us everyone
Yes everyone
So we can plan for a new tomorrow
Free from all the pain of sorrow
Knowing our faith hides in the unforeseen
We won't be fooled by grand illusions
Only truth for all conclusions
We promise you this oh St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
Are these the end of days
Or just a passing phase
There's so much we just don't know
Can you tell us so
Are we good to go
We placed our trust in you
Just the way you asked us to
Lord we waited patiently
And silently
So you'd hear our plea
So we wait on this new tomorrow
But be wise on who we follow
For no chapter, no verse explains this old universe
Wake up, wake up
St. Quarantine enough is enough
Wake up, wake up
We ain't never seen the times so rough
Do you listen when we pray
'Cause we pray most night and day to you (St. Quarantine)
Oh tell us what else can we do
Now where the hell are you St. Q
Man this song's for you...
For Q
Hey Q, hey Q
How 'bout a time machine for me and you
Hey Q, yeah you
We hope this vaccine will make our dreams come true
Does it mean bugger all to you
When billions count on you old Q (St. Quarantine)
This place is smellin' like a zoo
And man, so are you Mr. Q
Damn this bugaboo
It was a one-eyed red horned flyin' evil people eater
St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
St. Quarantine
Interpretation
For a prolonged period in 2020-2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the world was under effective quarantine through social distancing, work from home, and closing of most non-essential places of business. During that time, many people lost their jobs, while other lost their lives or the lives of their loved ones to the disease. No longer free to travel, go out to restaurants, or go out to social events or even to work, people found themselves isolated at home, often bored, needing a haircut, gaining weight, and even showering less frequently. The daily updates from the WHO, CDC, and government spokesmen were countered by misinformation from conspiracy theorists. Everyone just wanted a time machine to go back to how things were and were anxious for a vaccine to come and save them. Waiting, hoping, and praying for a better tomorrow, people just wanted it to end and even questioned why God let it happen or to go on so long.
Just the way you asked us to
Lord we waited patiently
And silently
So you'd hear our plea
So we wait on this new tomorrow
But be wise on who we follow
For no chapter, no verse explains this old universe
Wake up, wake up
St. Quarantine enough is enough
Wake up, wake up
We ain't never seen the times so rough
