Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever, and unto the ages of ages.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever, and unto the ages of ages.

Amen

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...
Amen...

In this ancient temple, on worn, weathered stones,
A very old monk knelt there, quite alone.
He prayed for so long, with tears in his eyes,
For the people on Earth, lost in sin's disguise.

Moments flew by, centuries drifted along,
He knelt and he whispered, a sorrowful song.
Trying to answer the age-old, questioning plea:
Why is there so much sorrow for all to see?

And the golden domes are shrouded in the night,
My heart cries out silent, with all of its might...
Help us, O Lord, to find faith anew,
To overcome blindness, our souls to imbue!

Forgive us, O Lord, our sins release, Forgive us, O Lord, grant us peace!
Forgive us, O Lord, our sins release, Forgive us, O Lord, grant us peace!

In this ancient temple, on worn, weathered stones,
A very old monk knelt there, all alone,
He lived far away from the world's busy strife,
His thoughts were so pure, dedicated to life.

He prayed to the heavens for the orphans and widows:
"Give bread to the hungry, a shelter to those who are hollow!
May the children all grow and never know pain,
Share love and warmth with them, again and again!"

On this sinful Earth, blood flows like a stream,
Temples drown in darkness, a broken, sad dream.
Brother turns on brother, hearts filled with spite,
Forgive them, O Lord, and bring them to light!

And the golden domes are shrouded in the night,
My heart cries out silent, with all of its might...
Help us, O Lord, to find faith anew,
To overcome blindness, our souls to imbue, our souls to imbue!

And the golden domes are shrouded in the night,
My heart cries out silent, with all of its might...
Help us, O Lord, to find faith anew,
To overcome blindness, our souls to imbue!

Forgive us, O Lord, our sins release, Forgive us, O Lord, grant us peace!
Forgive us, O Lord, our sins release, Forgive us, O Lord, grant us peace!
