Common Prayers Lyrics
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
Inside the cell
The voice within, the desert wind
Calls out our name
So close, so close
Inside the gate
Behind the veil, the quarantine
Against myself
So strong, so strong
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers
Upon my chest
The time has come to born again
And test our faith
Inside the grave
The broken beads, the rosary
Against our will
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers

This track seems to be about a veil of darkness some choose to hide behind, afraid of being judged for their sins/ life choices. The lyrics describe those who pretend to be angels, hiding behind a mask when in their heart it is much darker. The song goes on to say it's ok to be free, test faith & live as you choose, how you choose.
