The Walls of Jericho

from Wild Awake by John Lyle

lyrics

The Walls of Jericho

Sunbeams echo through the twilight of time
Broken shadows come and render us blind
Can’t read the writing on the walls of Jericho

Phantom thieves with no eyes of delight
Bare their arms in the house of blue lights
That’s what you get inside the walls of Jericho

Out on borrowed air the crooked bay moons
Ammunition for the crack of the runes
Thrown again against the walls of Jericho

What can be hides behind the night
Like a rope of sand, it just can’t stand the light

Fingerprints on the mirror of the mind
Wash away with the tears of the tide
Still and gone beside the walls of Jericho
