Trumpets Of Jericho

Bruce Dickinson

This is the maze of life

This is the maze of death

This is the matrix of eternity



The demon never sleeps

The demon never lies

He beats my heart and leaves no echo



What heavy burden holds me back

Every step along the track?

Fear that reaches deep inside of me



At the trumpets of Jericho



Still the walls remain



At the trumpets of Jericho



Avalon's in chains

This is the river of space

This is the river of time

Chase the dragons of infinity



Atlas stands and laughs

Throws his burden down

Rolls the earth in the inferno



Fingers holding onto cracks

The howling wind that blows us back

Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell



At the trumpets of Jericho



Still the walls remain



Blow the trumpets of Jericho



Still the walls remain



At the end of the rainbow



There the grail remains



Sound the trumpets of Jericho



Avalon's in chains

As they drag you down

In your clothes of lead

See the golden light

Flashing overhead

Mocking you



Do you know who you are

In your robes of skin?

How many creatures live inside you?



Man is born forever free

But is everywhere in chains

Trapped inside this earthly prison cell



At the trumpets of Jericho



Still the walls remain



At the trumpets of Jericho



Avalon's in chains



At the trumpets of Jericho



There the grail remains



At the trumpets of Jericho



Still the walls remain



Still the walls remain



Still the walls remain



Still the walls remain



The silence of the tomb



The wheel of fortune round
