Prayer Song

PRAYER SONG

What happened to Rapture

Who took Sublime

Ecstasy vanished

Joy ran out of time


Sacred’s forgotten

Man has a new flaw

Wonder is absent

Nobody’s is Awe


There’s dust on the Relic

The Prophet grows dim

His lesson’s forgotten

What happened to him


Man’s best face

Is fast asleep

As to make the Angels weep


The message of Clerics

Is not what it seems

Men guided by dogma

Don’t listen to dreams


The warning of Wise Men

Is seen as a rouse

The Wisdom of Ages

Is replaced by the “News”


Who hid compassion

Lost is the Source

How long until Reason

Is moved by remorse


Man’s best face

Is fast asleep

As to make the Angels weep


The thief that stole Greatness

Is now King of fools

The Scepter is Passed

Mediocrity rules


The Dam stops the River

The Ax fells the Tree

The Mine rapes the mountain

Waste now fills the Sea


The Symbols have faded

The Myth is obscure

The Story, forgotten

The Moral, a blur


Man’s best face

Is fast asleep

As to make the Angels weep


I pray for Deliverance

From man’s cunning hold

Take me from his Temple

His God’s made of Gold


I pray for Redemption

I pray we embrace

A longing to live in

A true State of Grace


A longing to live in

A true State of Grace

Amen, Amen Amen
