[Moses] Hands behind your back, keep your head bowed Pray for faith you lack, keep your eyes down Don't use the wrong tone, bless the door before you go His presence is a reverence most will never know So hands behind your back, say a prayer now [Moses] I ask for mercy in this Godforsaken land They're burning, are they burning by your hand? Would God himself really heed the prayer of just a man Or could he never, ever understand? [Ashra] Hands behind my back, keep my head bowed Girls alone attract trouble, I just want the warmth of my bed now Don't use the wrong tone if you're passing those who know You need easy money and your husband isn't home And you're all alone in his bed now [Ashra] I ask for mercy in this Godforsaken land I'm burning, am I burning by your hand? Would God himself really heed the prayer of someone damned Or could he never, ever understand? [Matthias] Hand behind my back, keep my head down Bandages intact everywhere the leprosy has spread now Don't let them know you're sick, wear a hood, put the dish Far enough away so they won't be scared to give And if you've been blessed by some bread now [Matthia and Ashra] I ask for mercy in this Godforsaken land We're burning, are we burning by your hand? Would God himself really heed the prayer of one who ran Or could he never, ever We ask for mercy in this Godforsaken land We're burning, is our burning in your plan? Would God himself really touch a sinner's dirty hand? Or could he never, ever understand?
