Jerusalem Lyrics by Rune Larsen

Tidens Gate

2013

[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning
And none of the news was good
And death machines were rumbling cross the ground where Jesus stood
And the band on my TV told me:
"Its always been that way. And there's nothing anyone could do or say"
And I almost listened to him
Yeah I almost lost my mind, then I regained my senses again
And looked into my heart to find

[Chorus]
That I believe that one fine day
All the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem

[Verse 2]
But maybe I'm only dreamin'
And maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learning how to hate, in Sunday school
But somewhere along the way I strayed
And I never looked back again
But I still find some comfort now and then

[Bridge]
Then the stone comes rumbling in
And I can't lay me down
And the drums are drumming again
And I can't stand the sound

[Chorus]
But I believe there'll come a day
When the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together
In Jerusalem

[Verse 3]
And there'll be no barricades then
There'll be no [?]
And we can wash all His blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls

[Chorus]
And I believe that on that day
All the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem

[Outro]
Will lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem
