Precious Jerusalem Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Primus Diddy 

Cover art for Precious Jerusalem lyrics by Blind Guardian

So if you say there's no faith in man You better keep in mind That I can read between the lines MY HEAVY BURDEN BRINGS EYESIGHT TO THE BLIND

I think this has to do with Jesus, actually- his burden being that he's a prophet and can do all these great things- he brings eyesiht to the blind.

I've been caught in wilderness in wilderness I've get out well I found myself in desert lands in desert lands But you've been on my mind

I think this is self explanitory I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem Deny my love but you can't change me

A recurring theme being prophets and mistreating them- something that happened...obviously.

Rise up and follow me cause I will bring the light Rise up and follow me wake up and clear your mind I try to bring it back the seed of life I try to bring it back the seal of light

I think this is rather self explanitory too: a 'speech' (for lack of a better word) to Jesus' followers.

I'm not saying that I'm positive that this song is from Jesus' point of view before his execution, but it's an idea I thought I'd throw in there.
