Oceans of Slumber - Prayer Lyrics


I’ve called out
In anguish when the names were not mine were nothing
When they were just names
I’ve read and I’ve heard and I’ve known them forever
When the skies open up
And I see only the sun and the moon
And when hope was my guide
And I had nothing else and no one else coming

An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall
I’ve called you by every name
I’ve asked for you at every fall

Hands together
Holding nothing
A lustful heart
Not knowing where my prayers go

Chasing our dreams
Chasing the days
And we’re free and we’re frolicking
Dancing, hoping
Our faith is flowing
We are blessed again
Our hearts beckon to the call
And we have nothing at all to fear
To fear

When we’re together
There’s nothing stronger
We could fly away
Loyal hands clasped
These reverent walls splashed
With our blood again

(Lies)
Hands together
Holding nothing
A lustful heart
Not knowing where my prayers go

An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to, fixed to the wall
I’ve called, I’ve called for you by every name
Asked for you at every fall

I pretend the beads are hands
Hands together, holding nothing
A lustful grasp, a mournful heart
I still don’t know your name
I’ve called out every name now
I’ve cried out at every fall
(Ahhh)

I’ve called you out by every name now
I’ve asked at every fall
An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall

I’ve called you out by every name now
I’ve asked at every fall
An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall
