Subject: Prayer Cycle...


The Prayer Cycle Album
Jonathan Elias penned all the lyrics on the album with noteable exeption of "Mercy" and "Innocence" done by Alanis Morissette


MERCY
Alanis in Ungarnisch, Salif Keita in Mali, mit dem englischen Chamber Chor in Swahili

We have slaughtered
In the garden of beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter justice
Begging eternity for love

We're nothing
We're everything

I am nothing
Yet I am everybody

We're nothing
And yet we are

Wisdom lights up life's road

I know you



HOPE
Alanis in Französisch, mit dem Amerikanischen Jungenchor und Devin Provenzano

Before my body dies
I pray
That the river I was born to
May again wash over me

By God's touch I pray
That I may move from this consecrated
Earth
Into the next season

A dark season
Beyond the dying religions that
Seduced us

My soul will surrender
And give in to grace



INNOCENCE
Alanis in Französisch, Salif Keita in Mali, mit dem englischen Chamber Chor in Französisch

By moon we gather
For the ascension
Great sky shelter us
With your endless compassion

Last survivor
It is you who must pass
Into the light of the new world

Under a sky of innocence
We are now all dying
In a slow black rain
Was it a failure
Of man and angels?
Was it a failure of love?

From this human river
Too cruel for winter
Welcome to the gates
A rehearsal for the silence
Pray we do not enter

Under a sky of innocence
We bathe in the seduction
Beautiful
The light is unraveling now
We open our arms to it

It is close to ground zero

I am no one
Yet I am everyone

We are nothing, but we are all
When I am still, I am inspired

We are not yet born

Half sadness
But half choice

When I am still I can hear
You speak most clearly

Father can you help me
For the ocean is big
And my boat is small

Find the courage
