The Prophets Pray

Verse 1

What has come over Mother and Father?

What has become of you my friend?

No one is looking out for each other

This world has yet such bitter, bitter ends

Verse 2

Where is the love I left here last summer?

Where is discretion, sincerity, trust?

What will become of the children of tomorrow?

Will they forget what is right, what is just?

Chorus

(Ah!) The prophets pray the world away!

Just passing time on easier days

It's the fight of the ages, look both ways,

Take a leap of faith! (Oh-oh-oh)

The prophets pray the world away! (The prophets pray!)

It's just the fight of our, our age!

Verse 3

Where are the heroes that I read about?

Where is morality, honor and pride?

Who will be standing when all of the rest have fallen?

Who will be strong enough, brave enough

To turn the tide?

Verse 4

What is the meaning of this new beginning?

Or is our ending now drawing so near?

Is there a chance, a hope that we're winning?

Or will we all disappear?

Chorus

(Ah!) The prophets pray the world away!

Just passing time on easier days

It's the fight of the ages, look both ways,

Take a leap of faith! (Oh-oh-oh)

The prophets pray the world away! (The prophets pray!)

It's just the fight of our, our age!

Bridge

Oh, you better look out 'cause here the end's coming

You better get out 'cause nobody's running

You better not play when nobody's playing

You better not pray when nobody's praying (Ah!)

Guitar solo

Final Chorus

(Ah!) The prophets pray the world away!

Just passing time on easier days

It's the fight of the ages, look both ways,

Take a leap of faith! (Oh-oh-oh)

The prophets pray the world away! (The prophets pray!)

It's just the fight of our, our age!

(Ah!) The prophets pray the world away!

Just passing time on easier days

It's the fight of the ages, look both ways,

Take a leap of faith! (Oh-oh-oh)

The prophets pray the world away! (The prophets pray!)

It's just the fight of our age
