Blind prayer means, the people who did the praying didn’t know who they were praying for, the people who were being prayed for did not know anybody was praying for them.

csicop.org/articles/20010810-prayer no longer exists

LYRICS: I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind."

In this case, it seems like the "prayer" didn't quite pan out and "went unanswered."
