Precious Jerusalem Songtext
von Blind Guardian

No doubt
Doubt

No longer need to hide it
I′ve found out who I am
I'm moved around in circles
I rise and fall again
I know it well
Every word I tell
Seems to make no sense at all

Words will heal it
Love will conquer the
Hearts of the hopeless
The almighty is still alive


Rising up from the heart of the desert
Rising up for Jerusalem
Rising up from the heat of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem
Risingup from the heart of the desert
Rising up for Jerusalem
Rising up from the heat of the desert
Heading out for Jerusalem

I′ve gone beyond
But there's no life
And there is nothing how it seems
I've gone beyond
But there′s no life
There is no healing rain in Eden
The empty barren wasted paradise

Let us celebrate the dawning of the son

I turn to you oh precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passions and
Treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem

Deny my love but you can′t change fate
Son of man

You truly are mine
Can't stand the pain
No more grief and misery
It goes on and on and on and on


And on and on and on
Father stop it now

We must stop it now
You really think you′re half way up
I would not mind if you were right
It's not sure
I′d rather say you are half way down
So I am going to help you

If I can
I've been caught
In wilderness
In wilderness
I′ve got out well
I found myself
In desert lands
In desert lands

But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passions and
Treat them like fools

I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can't change truth
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
So if you say
There′s no faith in man
You better keep in mind
′Cause I can read between the lines

My heavy burden brings
Eyesight to the blind
I've been caught
In wilderness
In wilderness
I′ve got out well
I found myself
In desert lands
In desert lands
But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passions and
Treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can′t change me
