Jericho Lyrics
When we came upon the plain
You could hear the children saying
"There's no way we're gonna take that city there"
'Cause nothing but the wind
Was going out or coming in
Over ramparts reaching that far up in the air
The city like a drum
Was beaten by the long arm of the sun
The long arm of the sun
The clouds of dust we raised
We marched around that place for days
Priests would blow on the ram's horns now and again
But the sound was made
So from above they watched amazed
It's like race of wraiths beseeching them
It went down as a rout
They razed those walls with nothing but a shout
Nothing but a shout
The city like a drum
Was beaten by the long arm of the sun
The long arm of the sun
You could hear the children saying
"There's no way we're gonna take that city there"
Was going out or coming in
Over ramparts reaching that far up in the air
Was beaten by the long arm of the sun
The long arm of the sun
We marched around that place for days
Priests would blow on the ram's horns now and again
So from above they watched amazed
It's like race of wraiths beseeching them
They razed those walls with nothing but a shout
Nothing but a shout
Was beaten by the long arm of the sun
The long arm of the sun
