Moonspell - Common Prayers

The signs are here, the end is near
A lot to think about
Walk through the door, that will be all
We're closing-closing down
Come on and let us go, all hope is gone
Life is a feast, all you can eat
Every night and day
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then

Inside the wheel another turn
Around-around the sun
Pick up the bill, it's time to go
We're leaving-leaving town
Move on and let us go, all hope is lost
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then

Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
It's now or never

Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing

Life is a game you cannot win
You just have to play
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then

Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
It's now or never

The future's so near
Away from the past
Time to let it happen
The torch in your hand

The desert's so vast
That you must find your place
To hide from the crowds
Find peace without end

A house with no windows
No light breaking in
A house built just for one
Away from the sun

Hear the word, oh! Let it burn
Take me home and hold me as we fall
Keep me safe from harm

So long ago, not far away, upon an altar of dirt
Oh! Hear the voices, let them burn!
There's nothing new under the sun

All that he built, his kingdom of truth
Watch it turn to dust, his masterwork

So long ago, not far away, upon an altar of dirt
Oh! Hear the voices, let them burn!
There's nothing new under the sun

So close to me, as tight as you can be
Inside the cell
The voice within, the desert wind
Calls out our name
So close, so close

So, let me be and keep you company
Inside the gate
Behind the veil, the quarantine
Against myself
So strong, so strong

You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers

So, lock the door, I'll keep the key
Upon my chest
The time has come to born again
And test our faith

Just let me in the sanctuary
Inside the grave
The broken beads, the rosary
Against our will

You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face

You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers

I'm standing here in silence
This graceful place of peace
Watching the shadows come closer
The birds they sing no longer
The winds they blow no more
With fear of death
I'm waiting for the night to fall

The sun will set forever
One after one the stars they die
The rainbow has turned to black
Darkness has fallen in paradise

Darkness has fallen in paradise
Darkness has fallen...

Love is lost in memories
All beauty and all light
Have vanished from the
Garden of delight
The Devil and his gift
The heart he stole away
But innocence was lost long ago

The morning will come no more
Our dreams are all gone
Midnight has come to stay
Darkness has fallen in paradise

Darkness has fallen in paradise
Darkness has fallen...

Oh father please forgive us
Forgive us all our sins
Please bring your light
Again to lead our way
But my prayers are not answered
They fade out to die
And so does the last gleam of hope

The morning will come no more
Our dreams are all gone
Midnight has come to stay
Darkness has fallen in paradise

Darkness has fallen in paradise
Darkness has fallen...

I know my death is near (I know my death is near)
Far beyond my dreams (Far beyond my dreams)
My fate is waiting (My fate is waiting)
To show me the light... I believe
I believe...

I know my death is near
Far beyond my dreams
My fate is waiting
To show me the light... I believe
I believe... I believe...Yes, I believe...

One thing's for sure, for everyone
One thing's for sure, whatever may
Such big machines that man have made
To darken the clouds and control the rain

All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing
Every word, all we say
All our words they count for nothing

No new positions to greet the sun
No magic rides on a yoga mat
No time to cry, to make things right
It's human nature, don't be afraid

All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing
Every word, all we say
All our words they count for nothing

All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing

All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing
Every word, all we say
All our words they count for nothing

All our words they count for nothing

In the circle of life and sin
On this day of apocalypse
On our way to hermitage
It's the return to innocence

At the mercy of time and space
On this day we must repent
On our way to hermitage
We observe the sacrifice

Raise your hands up to the skies
On we march to hermitage
Empty hands, hollow eyes
On we march to hermitage

In the circle of life and sin
On this day of apocalypse
On our way to hermitage
It's the return to innocence

A bloody feather in the red lion's mane
The olive branch in the eagle's beak

Raise your hands up to the skies
On we march to hermitage
Empty hands, hollow eyes
On we march to hermitage

How about we go in search of newland
Where there’s no pleasure or pain
How about we go and found a new state
Wherefrom we cannot escape
How about no neighbours and no friends
No anthem, no government
What about no leaders and no nations
No birds of prey up in the air

How about we go in search of newland
Where there’s no purpose or aim
How about we go and find a new road
Why must we live so afraid
We know that we won’t find the cure to cancеr, to ignorance
How about no thoughts and no prayers
No right or wrong, no good or bad

Will we gеt to live and see the new day
What have we done, we ran out of space
What to do if someone’s taken over our fortune and fame
We know that many others might have made it
We know the cost, the price to pay
We’re nothing but the sand that fills the cracks
A soul in denial, a body ashamed

All around the world and the seven seas
Crowds of people keep closing in
Oh! When to hold, when to let go
The greater good not good enough

All around the world and the seven seas
Crowds of people keep closing in
Oh! When to hold, when to let go
The greater good not good enough
For all of us
All of us

Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray... Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Oh, hear them call, from hell on earth
Oh, hear them call, from nature's dome
From far beyond, oh hear them call

Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray... Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Oh, hear them call, from skies above
From down below, oh hear them call

Oh hear them...

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray... Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Oh, hear them call! Behold the hermit saints
Oh, hear them call!

At the speed of light, we move away
At the speed of light, we move away
When all the world has gone insane
At the speed of light, we move away

When all the world has gone insane
The men, the beasts, every living thing
At the top of the trees, at the bottom of the pyramid
A face in the crowd, trying to exist

We paid too much significance to things
We paid too much...
We paid too much...
We spread enough intolerance it seems
We spread enough...
We spread enough...

Now that everything has lost its taste
The food, the water hanging by a thread
We had our chance, but gave in too easily
Under the sun, trying to resist

We paid too much significance to things
We paid too much...
We paid too much...
We spread enough intolerance it seems
We spread enough...
We spread enough...

At the speed of light, we move away
When all the world has gone insane

Never too close, never too far
Without rule we are

Never too close, never too far
Without rule
Without rule we are

Never too close, never too far
Without rule we are

Never too close, never too far
Without rule
Without rule we are
