About

The title track from the album was inspired by the 1987 film A Prayer for the Dying, but the lyrics don’t have anything to do with the movie.

The lyrics are about the meaning of life. The song doesn’t bring any answers, but uncharacteristically asks God for them.

No Prayer for the Dying Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers, they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth?
Now, there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose, yeah

[Verse 2]
When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

[Solo: Dave Murray]
[Solo: Janick Gers]
[Solo: Dave Murray]

[Outro]
God, give me the answer to my life
God, give me the answer to my dreams
God, give me the answer to my prayers
God, give me the answer to my being
