A prayer for the world ; The over soul sends to us -- A prayer for the world -- For we have walked the streets of Babylon, forty thousand strong -- In sacrifice -- For the future -- Seeds of the world -- Songs from heaven falling -- Like luminous rain upon the daughters of Isis -- Giving their children the will to continue -- Singing a prayer for the souls of the world.
