Lyrics of Jericho

You are a dreamer of dreams, walking a lonely shore
Dream if you will but remember there are iron laws
However much you seek to solve this mystery, no one ignores
The iron vice of history, all those gone before, dreamed to escape
They tried to fly over the palisades

Standing at the gates, this is jericho and the walls
Reach up to the stars and outside we were singing psalms
Such a strange, strange place for we are the prisoners of the prisoners
We have taken and the prophet's dreams are now forsaken

Sing me the songs of a world that i once knew, recall the legends
Once so proud and true, my people used to live here not so long ago
But they fled into the night and i was left alone, i guard
These walls for you and me, dream on, sail on my memory

Standing at the gates, this is jericho and the walls
Reach up to the stars and outside we were singing psalms
Such a strange, strange place for we are the prisoners of the prisoners
We have taken and the prophet's dreams are now forsaken
