Jericho Lyrics by Violet Road

Back to the Roadshow

2014

Let's go back to the roadshow
Drink with the old crow who cut us down
Blind him, force-feed and remind him
There's nothing quite strong as
The suns of the railroad light

Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can save your mortal soul?
Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?

I grant you, lonesome new stories
All these new songs from around the world
I don't care, blinded by dollars
I chase the white collars
The suns of the other side

Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can save your mortal soul?
Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?

So let me free from your prison
Free from your boundaries that hold me back
I walk now, the road to redemption
The pathway to enter my peace with God

Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can save your mortal soul?
Tell me, why did you go into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can tell you where to go?

Tell me, why did you hide deep in the mines
Far from the wrath of the men who tried
To fill your endless greed for finery and fame?
Tell me, why did you fall into the cold
Deep in the mines of Jericho
Where no diamond can show you where to go?
