This prayer that I bring
to those who deceive
is one I won't sing
is one I won't leave

This prayer that I speak
to those who incite
is one for the meek
surrendering the fight

This prayer that I offer
to those who betray
their numberless lovers
all losing their way

This prayer that I give
to those who are blind
is one that will live
in temples of kind

This prayer that I write
whilst canvessing souls
turns dark into night
and tears into coals

This prayer on my wing
it carries me through
to those who will bring
this prayer that is you

This prayer that is you
salvation it brings
it carries me through
it strengthens my wing
