Bruce Dickinson - Trumpets Of Jericho lyrics

[B. Dickinson / Roy Z]

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...

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

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...

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

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, ha ha ha ha ha ha...

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 [x4]

The silence of the tomb...

The wheel of fortune round...

(yea-eah)
