Massive Attack - A Prayer For England video free download
Lyrics below. With Vocals by; Sinead O'Connor
In the name of, and by the power of
The holy spirit
May we invoke your intercession for
The children of England
Some of whom have seen
Murder so obscene
Some of whom have been taken
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
Jah forgive us for forgetting
Jah help us, we need more loving
You see the teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
Jah calls the ones whose
Beliefs killed children to
Feel the love of you and be healed
And may we all cry too
For representing you so badly, so badly
Jah forgive us for forgetting
Oh Jah help us to be forgiving
The teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you
Let not another search be made in vain
Let not another child be slain

no "normal" deaths here... the song is about "other" subjects... for example: The Mary Moss Elm Guest House VIP Paedophile Party List... Del Naja seems to have been punished for this song... 2 weeks after the issue of the album he has been charged with... the same crime of the song... weird, isn't' it? for those who don't remember, they can google del naja and alexis petridis ("The Guardian" interviewer)... not to say that Sinnead is an ex-abused child herself... I suggest also to think about the last verses of "Everywhen": "Everything you think you know, Everything you think you know, You think you know, Blood ties"... blood ties... i.e. human sacrifices? Didn't A.Crowley himself explicitly wrote that (I mean... the death of a child)? After this song, I think that a far more hermetic and more general allusion has been made with "Psyche", but I could be wrong... BTW, the music of these three songs is wonderful10 years ago

GbrElfunk - Whats your point? The needless loss of life regardless of nationality is a tragedy. Make an artistic expression for those children if you feel that way moved.Its seems like you're dismissing the message because worse is happening elsewhere. Instead, try enhancing and bridging the message into other countries through mediums of art.11 years ago

Massive Attack are one of the UK's best bands of all time, I'm shocked that this epic song with O'Connor has only 97 likes. Pop back tomorrow and there will be so many more....... promise. 11 years ago
