Trumpets Of Jericho

(B. Dickinson/ Roy Z)

This is the maze of life

This is the maze of death

This is the matrix of eternity

 

The demon never sleeps

The demon never lies

He beats my heart and leaves no echo

 

What heavy burden holds me back

Every step along the track?

Fear that reaches deep inside of me

 

At the trumpets of Jericho

Still the walls remain

At the trumpets of Jericho

Avalon's in chains

 

This is the river of space

This is the river of time

Chase the dragons of infinity

 

Atlas stands and laughs

Throws his burden down

Rolls the Earth in the inferno

 

Fingers holding on to cracks

The howling wind that blows us back

Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell

 

At the trumpets of Jericho

Still the walls remain

Blow the trumpets of Jericho

Still the walls remain

At the end of the rainbow

There the grail remains

Sound the trumpets of Jericho

Avalon's in chains

 

As they drag you down

In your clothes of lead

See the golden light

Flashing overhead

Mocking you! Hahahahahaha...

 

Do you know who you are

In your robes of skin

How many creatures live inside you

 

Man is born forever free

But is everywhere in chains

Trapped inside this earthly prison cell

 

At the trumpets of Jericho

Still the walls remain

At the trumpets of Jericho

Avalon's in chains

At the trumpets of Jericho

There the grail remains

At the trumpets of Jericho

Still the walls remain

Still the walls remain

Still the walls remain

Still the walls remain

The silence of the tomb

The wheel of fortune round

The Chemical Wedding
