Antje Duvekot - Jerusalem lyrics

rate me

So, a city wakes up in the morning

And all the infidels get in their cars

As a father is floating, ?

And driven into your heart

Cause you live in a town that is delicate

Where old grudges run deeper than mud

Where peace is a term that is relative

And written in blood

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Another city wakes up in the morning

You are the martyr who is taking the stage

You're laying flowers on the eyes of your brother

In his funeral parade

And you are filled with a love for your people

All your life you have drunk bitter milk

You say, "The ones who have wounded my brother

Are the ones I must kill"

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Now the blood has run down to a stand

For generations, it's marked up the sand

Where the scars are as deep as the rivers

And as old as the land

Your god's armies, they are marching on heaven

In the name of what is holy and sacred

Casting poisonous seeds for their children to reap

Out of the rubbles of hatred

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Oh, you lie bleeding in the doorways of Eden

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
