Old Jericho Songtext
von Elephants Through The Alps

A clear blue sky and a lemon yellow sun
Hover ov′r the dust that burns my lungs
There are piles of rubble lyin' all around
Made by the blasting trumpet sounds

I built these walls with my bare hands
And cut each stone to fit the master plan
Sweat and blood made the walls strong and true
A lifetime of toil fell when those horns blew

Ooh, ooh, ooh
The walls of Jericho came tumblin′ down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down to the ground


Ooh, ooh, ooh
The walls of Jericho came tumblin' down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down to the ground

We create our own fables, our realities of truth
They shelter and protect us like the fearlessness of youth
But when that armor cracks the only thing left to ask
Is now what do I do?

Now everyone's forgotten never to forget
′Cept the honest mason who can′t pay his debts
And all I've ever known has turned to salted earth
Like a drunken tightrope walker who′s just askin' to get hurt

Ooh, ooh, ooh
The walls of Jericho came tumblin′ down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Down to the ground


The walls of Jericho came tumblin' down
The walls of Jericho came tumblin′ down
The walls of Jericho came tumblin' down
All around old Jericho
