Say a Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down
Far too soon under the scarlet moon ...
Under the scarlet moon ...
Say a prayer ...
So, what are you weaving there marionette
Keepin' your balance by a single thread ...
Keepin' your heart strings tight and pure
All you can muster and nothing more and nothing more
Until you're sore and still you're sore when do you soar ...
Sometimes justice is the line you walk or sign,
But justice is complex and a matter of time
Sometimes it's hanging in the balance or
Dancing in the shadow like a silhouette
So what are you weaving there marionnette ...
So what are you weaving there marionnette ...
Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down
Far too soon under the scarlet moon
Say a prayer, go on say a prayer ...
Some people get a sadness so long
They just go on thinking it's a natural thing
Some people throw their hands in the sky
And they wonder why god don't reply
Well it's strange, strange time all our friends
Dropping like flies everything that's come to pass
All the time we thought would last.
Well I'll just button my coat and cover my neck
I got barely enough time to catch my breath ...
All these pictures I can't forget ...
It can fill your cup with regret ...
It can fill your cup with regret
Say a prayer, for all the souls in bloom ...
Say a prayer... Say a prayer ...
