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
   Keepin' your balance by a single thread ...
   Keepin' 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 marionnette ...
   So what are you weaving there marionnette ...
   Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down
   Far too soon under the scarlet moon
   Say a prayer, go on 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 ...
   It can fill your cup with regret
   Say a prayer, for all the souls in bloom ...
   Say a prayer... Say a prayer ...
