St. Tikhon is a Saint associated with depression
St. Tikhon stood on the highest peak
Wind at his back
Thus, he did leap

O'er the fields, he did glide
Cutting through the night
Where his parish did lie

He called out the them a final farewell
And then felt a change
As hair turned to feathers, skin as well

St. Tikhon was a golden raptor
Gentle and free
Living forever until Rapture

They found his body at the foot of the steeple
Face grinning in peace
Arms outstretched to his people
