The place lays phased a warrior slayed Engraved into the space his sword still raised Layers of charcoal sprayed through Praise off the walls echoin' always
Dirt covered earth beneath my rib cage Givin' birth to overgrowth invadin' on to ways Burnt out trees cover where children once played Sown seeds decay sacred steppin' stones in disarray
the alter used to be placed Interchanged for illuminate smoke filled haze Trace of incense, scents of sacrifice
Tamid eternally, fire burns continuously Wondering where been, won't you come on home to me? Aish Tamid eternally, a fire burns Wondering where you've been, you, won't you come to me?
Flashback, patches of grass growin' in fact walls burnt black like a kingdom sacked Memories like attacked yet still intact Melodies wrapped in glass shatter the impact
Air interminglin', with the singin' Of songs sung, flung, hung into the rafters Catastrophe struck, the sound stuck, disaster The a blasted buildin' still standin'
a starved man fasting the skies expandin' Clouds passin', dust dancin' in broken bars of light Streamin' a shaft slashed into the ceilin' Shh, you could feel the breathin'
Aish Tamid eternally, fire continuously Wondering where you've been, won't you come on to me? Aish Tamid eternally, a fire continuously Wondering where you've been, won't you, you come to me?
Daughter of Zion is cryin' in the mist Mornin' light slips in through the darkness Like a wife reminisce visions of her long gone prince
Memory drips, rain tip emptiness Intermixed with fears left unfixed
Walls worn thin, frozen Like dawn waitin' for a day got skipped Like a life wrong wanderin' wilderness Lovesick stripped abyss once luscious
Aish Tamid eternally, burns continuously Wondering where been, won't you come on home to me? Tamid eternally, a fire burns continuously Wondering where been, won't you, won't you come to me?
the scene, so you can see city pickin' up speed On a bench 14th street, taxis yellow streaks Spears piercing through my ears, you could hear the traffic Jack hammers drill smackin' through the sizzling
Windowsills tangled telephone wires Signs sparking neon lights flashin' like My rise, I start to feel paralyzed Let out a sigh, a melody blew by like an war cry
Sunlight hit the trees, it really my eye Glistenin', to the breeze through the trees, freeze The city goes in slow motion like a
I'm left empty like a temple turned a fox den Bus drippin', spittin' into city summer sun Siftin' the ash Dimly lit listenin'
To the hiss off a nighttime ocean Shim, shim, shimmerin', singein' hair on my Whispering ya been? Glim, glim,
From amidst the set sail with the softness travelin' across the seas arisen from within Mt. Zion Wind comin' in, pickin' up Cuttin' crisply through the ridin' on a rhythm
A rollercoaster Twistin' the mountain Rippin' ship explodin' like a fountain Overflowin', through the courtyard of Jerusalem
Uncoverin' debris, liftin' up the arisen within' To the yiddin Even in Manhattan, Menorah Glowin' in the shadows of
Trailblazin' through Brushin' off the Golden standin' strong, dancin' a lion roarin', risin' out of nothin'
