Lyrics
V1: [Verse 1] Not who powers the light, Not who’s winning the fight, It’s the song in the air, It’s the love that we dare. Not the word, not the creed, It’s the reason we bleed, Not in how we pray, But the fire that will stay. [Chorus] There’s no prayer like desire, It’s the breath in the fire, Not the book that we read, But the hunger we feed. [Verse 2] Not the look, not the words, Not the sacred, absurd, Truth is how we move, In the heart, in the groove. Not the script we repeat, It’s the pulse in the beat, Not in what we say, It’s the heat that will stay. [Chorus] There’s no prayer like desire, It’s the breath in the fire, Not the book that we read, But the hunger we feed. [Verse 3] Not the tale that we share, But the nerve to stand bare, It’s the beat in the soul, It’s the why we let go. Truth lives under the cry, In the tears that won’t lie, Not what we believe, But what we receive. [Bridge] Not in lips, not in lies, It’s the truth that survives, In the heart, in the fire, In the core of desire. [Final Chorus] There’s no truth like desire, It’s the rhythm, the wire, It’s the edge that we ride, It’s the pulse deep inside. There’s no prayer like desire, It’s the root of the fire, It’s the spark we require, Taking us higher… and higher. [Outro] Not the tales that we boast, Not the ghosts that we host, It’s the fire we share, No prayer can compare. -- V2: [Verse 1] It ain't the words you preach Or the hands you fold to pray The crowd may watch and speak But their eyes don't know the way [Chorus] There’s no prayer like desire It’s the flame that burns inside No holy man or choir Can see the fire you try to hide [Verse 2] A heart can tell a lie Even when it kneels to cry But the truth, it never dies It’s in the why, the reason why [Chorus] There’s no prayer like desire It’s the flame that burns inside No holy man or choir Can see the fire you try to hide [Bridge] Deep down we all know It's what we seek, what we fight for A whispered wish, a secret spark Guides the soul through the dark [Chorus] There’s no prayer like desire It’s the flame that burns inside No holy man or choir Can see the fire you try to hide [Outro] So let it burn, let it burn bright Only the heart knows what’s right
