Trumpets Of Jericho Lyrics
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 onto 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...
(hahaha...)
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
Temperance and death
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain...
This is the maze of death
This is the matrix of eternity
The demon never lies
He beats my heart and leaves no echo...
Every step along the track?
Fear that reaches deep inside of me...
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
This is the river of time
Chase the dragons of infinity
Throws his burden down
Rolls the earth in the inferno...
The howling wind that blows us back
Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell...
Still the walls remain
Blow the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
There the grail remains
Sound the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains...
In your clothes of lead
See the golden light
Flashing overhead
Mocking you...
(hahaha...)
In your robes of skin?
How many creatures live inside you?
But is everywhere in chains
Trapped inside this earthly prison cell...
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 wheel of fortune round
Temperance and death
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain...

This song is about people who have let the demon live inside their heart and build a wall that even the trumphet of Jericho could not break that wall. Man is a living vessel that we have a choice if we let God or the demon dwell in us. Heavy lyrics by Bruce. Bruce was able to mix myth context with bible references to produce such a positive song.
the Message: every sin you commit even if it is little, it serves as a brick to the wall inside your heart that continually build until there's no more space for the spirit of God to dwell inside you.
nice work Bruce! Up with Irons!
This was explained elaborately here http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/02/trumpets-of-jericho.html
I have to disagree with you josepherdon. This song is about failure, a thing many Alchemists have encountered. It's about the procedure's they are going through, but how they never reach their ultimate goal; at the trumpets of Jericho still the walls remain...
