Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the shadow of the ancient stone,
The echoes of a battle long withdrawn,
One day with the Lord, a thousand years stand,
Words of the Law, we sing and command.

[Pre-Chorus]
Meditate day and night, blessings will arise,
The treasures of Babylon, cursed things under watchful eyes,
The Place of the Moon, the cursed thing upon ground,
But our faith is the weapon, the trumpets shall resound.

[Chorus]
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The patience of the saints rewarded,
The walls of Jericho must fall down.

[Verse 2]
Round and round, we tread in silence deep,
For six long days, the secrets we keep,
Only the trumpets break the night air,
As the city looms with a sinister glare.

[Pre-Chorus]
Joshua stands firm, his heart ablaze,
The name means salvation, in the darkest of haze,
On the seventh day, we take our stance,
Six times around, ready for the dance.

[Chorus]
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The patience of the saints rewarded,
The walls of Jericho must fall down.

[Bridge]
Then with a roar, a cry pierces the night,
All the saints together, hearts burning bright,
As we raise our voices, fear takes flight,
The walls come crumbling, a glorious sight.

[Chorus]
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The walls of Jericho must fall down,
The patience of the saints rewarded,
The walls of Jericho must fall down.

[Outro]
With faith and strength, the victory displayed,
A mystery: the harlot, that did not betray, was saved.
In the presence of saints, the fire does roar,
The courage of the faithful forever shall soar.
