No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid,
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
They keep us from the holy, the sacred, the bliss.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
As love's devotion, they will not let us give.

Her hair held, her veil clutched close, they command,
Her hair held, her veil clutched close.
They deny the winds, the winds' playful hand.
They keep us from the holy, the sacred, the bliss.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
As love's devotion, they will not let us give.

Even now, in this city, the frail homes stand,
Even now, in this city, the frail.
They deny the fierce rain, the rain's strong command.
They keep us from the holy, the sacred, the bliss.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
As love's devotion, they will not let us give.

Tell the moon tonight, to dim its bright gleam,
Tell the moon tonight.
For these lights, these bright lights, hold a cruel dream.
They keep us from the holy, the sacred, the bliss.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
As love's devotion, they will not let us give.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
They keep us from the holy, the sacred, the bliss.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
As love's devotion, they will not let us give.
No prayer holds the fervor of love, they forbid.
