Jericho - Arena

Forget the lights

Forget the sounds

You no longer need me round

Lost my patience

Lost my pride

The story of my life

Innocence is no way to hide

Forget the light

Forget the sound

Why do you have to drag me down

Men of night, In disguise

Slay this barren child

Sadness is your only friend

«Please forgive me

I didn’t mean to

play with your emotions

Tear apart your passions

Please forgive me

I didn’t mean to

Hurt you with false meanings

Hurt you with false feelings»

Is what you see

Is what you get

Overhearing distant sounds

Is what you wish

Is what you hope

Given both ends of the rope

Both ends of the rope?

When you turn against the system

and the rules that are taught

The true unconscious law

an action without thought

To free yourself forever from the shackles and the chains

Of any kind of hell

You can call this need by any other name

When you stay held down for most of your life

It’s not hard to find a cause

It’s the catalyst behind the knife… the knife!

Gonna turn the tide against you

Gonna make this private revolution

Gonna smash the gates and march right through

Gonna tear apart this institution

I’m coming down to find you

Gonna make this private revolution

Better keep this faith behind you

Gonna lead the way to new solutions.

Jericho — I’ll bring those walls right down on you!

Jericho — I’ll bring those walls right down on you!

Gonna turn the tide against you

Gonna make this private revolution

Gonna smash the gates and march right through

Gonna make this private revolution

Jericho — I’ll bring those walls right down on you!

Jericho — I’ll bring those walls right down on you!
