Jericho
Marching to Jericho: A Poetic Battle Within
Lyrics
I can't stop the war
I am unable to end the conflict
That rips from the inside
This conflict originates internally
Tearing my mind and skin
It's causing destruction to my thoughts and physical being
I can't tame the flame
I cannot control the intense emotion or passion
That burns from within
This intense feeling comes from deep within
We burned down our homes
We destroyed our homes
We've nowhere to hide now
We have no refuge now
We poisoned our wine and bread
We have tainted our sustenance
We'll die from the fear
We will perish due to the anxiety of waking up to death
Of waking up dead
Forget your prayers
Abandon your prayers
Cause I've seen the forecast
Because I have foreseen the future
The angels will fall like snow
Heavenly beings will descend like snow
If no one dares
If no one takes the risk
Let's march on the broken glass
Let's confront challenges bravely
To the walls of our Jericho
Confronting the walls of our own Jericho (symbolizing challenges)
Can you hear the birds
Perceive the symbolic birds mourning at our funeral
That sing at our funeral
While we hope for judgment day
As we pray for the judgement day
Expressing desperation and seeking divine intervention
We scattered our dreams
We've scattered our aspirations over desolate lands
Over lands of decay
Forget your prayers
Disregard your prayers
Cause I've seen the forecast
As I have foreseen the future
The angels will fall like snow
Heavenly beings will descend like snow
If no one dares
If no one takes the risk
Let's march on the broken glass
Confront challenges bravely
To the walls of our Jericho
Face the metaphorical walls of our own Jericho
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programme
Breaking from routine to deliver an important message
To bring you this important message
We are getting reports from all over the world
Reports worldwide of an unexplained atmospheric phenomenon
Of an unexplained atmospheric phenomenon
Flashes of red light and loud noises in the sky
Flashes of red light can be seen in the sky, followed by a loud noise
Suggesting a mysterious and potentially dangerous event
Advice from the authorities is to stay inside
Authorities advise seeking shelter and waiting for more information
Close all windows and doors and wait for further information
Forget your prayers
Disregard your prayers
Cause I've seen the forecast
As I have foreseen the future
The angels will fall like snow
Heavenly beings will descend like snow
If no one dares
If no one takes the risk
Let's march on the broken glass
Confront challenges bravely
To the walls of our Jericho
Face the metaphorical walls of our own Jericho
