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,
outside we were singing psalms.
Such
a strange, strange place,
we are the
prisoners
of the prisoners we have
taken.

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,
outside we were singing psalms.
Such
a strange, strange place,
we are the
prisoners
of the prisoners we have
taken
and the prophets' dreams are now
forsaken.
