Jericho

歌詞

'Twas long ago near Jericho where Joshua lit the spark A soldier from a holy war lay dying in the dark And he heard the final trumpet through the sacred culling ground He heard a sound like thunder as walls came tumbling down Jericho Jericho He'd prayed to find redemption - He prayed for inner peace He'd prayed upon the innocents when searching for release He had travelled far behind the lines - cut the sacred wire He'd put his lips against the steel - the symbol of his ire Jericho Jericho The lifeline - his holy cross - the giver of sweet gifts Small mercies for the dying on a final graveyard shift Jericho Jericho There was a final consecration - a final calling card A lifetimes culmination for the words that came so hard The blood was coursing through his veins - he knew the final score Sword lay in the scabbard - Death was at the door Jericho Jericho.
