"Say A Prayer" lyrics

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
Keeping your balance by a single thread
Keeping 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 marionette
So what are you weaving there marionette

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

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

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
