LYRIC:

Sand where the sea is shallow
Moss where the log is hollow
Grass where the fields are fallow
Furrows the rains follow
This is a prayer, this is a prayer, this is a prayer
This is a prayer against the hitman
We need prayers, we need prayers
We need prayers against the hitman

Fairways the frost has bitten
Clean as the finest cotton
Thaw like a waking kitten
Nothing has been forgotten
This is a prayer, this is a prayer, this is a prayer
This is a prayer against the hitman
We need prayers, we need prayers
We need prayers against the hitman

He'd like to stop the spring
And everything
He's working on a gun
To hit the sun

Light pink the day is dawning
Deep pink the day is waning
Ring round the moon's a warning
Morning it might be raining

This is a prayer, this is a prayer, this is a prayer
This is a prayer against the hitman
We need prayers, we need prayers
We need prayers against the hitman
