Common Prayers

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
