Hawkwind's song Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf are not a bad band themselves. Here's my lyric:
It's not a matter of mercy
It's not a matter of laws
Plenty of people will kill you
For some fanatical cause

Just a little bit! Well picked, Guzzman. 
Animal Farm - Greenslade
I'm half in love with dark and despair
The Moon's a howling, mouth of mercury
Quicksilver quivering in the sky
It echoes like a cave of chromium

The Doors 'In Concert' 2CD set has a 53 second number called 'Petition The Lord With Prayer'. (I have a copy in front of me as I type!)

I stand corrected, Matti. The Doors track is indeed The Soft Parade.
And your next lyric has my really stumped.

Jon Anderson's Animation was one of my first progressive songs. But about the Doors song I asked: album is Soft Parade but does it have a song called Petition the Lord With Prayer? I'm not quite sure about the song title but I guess it's 'Soft Parade' -? (By the way, my LP copy of Soft Parade is half Doors, half Tim Buckley's Happy/Sad!  At first listening I thought it was Jim Morrison singing, only the musical style made me wonder if there's a mistake. But a nice introduction to a great troubadour.)

The Doors ... Petition the Lord with Prayer
How about this one:
Tell me things that our forefathers have tried
I'll tell you there's nothing in life to touch the birth of a child,
I want these words to linger on and on for I was there beside my loved one

This is EASY! Bowie's "Life on Earth?"
"You cannot petition the Lord with prayer! You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!!!"

Mott The Hoople - Marionette

Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy"

Steve Hackett - Icarus Ascending
"No puppet, no liar, won't bend my lips to wire - No
Don't pressurize me so
Don't gamble, with my life, or you won't live to do it twice
Oh take some good advice from me
And let the wires rock"

It must be GENESIS - Guide Vocal (from "Duke" album)
Try this:
There's a thief on a
summer's night
across an ocean
who sees another life
fading away
