The Walls of Jericho
[Intro]
There is a stage
during the process
of metamorphosis…
Where neither the Caterpillar…
nor the Butterfly…
can be said to exist…
[Verse]
The shell begins to fracture
The old world comes undone
Everything familiar collapses
Beneath the setting sun.
I thought the end had found me
When the structure fell apart
But something kept on beating
Inside my hidden heart.
[Bridge]
Arrogance makes you ugly
Prejudice makes you bold
Transcendence is the only thing
That produces spiritual gold
[Chorus]
The walls of Jericho
Came tumbling down
To a piercing trumpet sound
Not one single stone
remained in place
When the walls
came tumbling down
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The fire didn’t destroy me
It refined me in the flame
The process is irreversible
Once you have been changed
If becoming asks for surrender
Then loosen your control
Because transformation happens
At the structure of the soul
[Bridge]
Arrogance makes you haughty
Prejudice makes you bold
But transcendence is the only thing
That produces spiritual gold
[Chorus]
The walls of Jericho
Came tumbling down
To a piercing trumpet sound
Not one single stone
remained in place
When the walls
came tumbling down
[Chorus]
Demolition takes precedent
Death is waiting at the gate
But death couldn’t touch
The caterpillar
Even in its most vulnerable state.
[Bridge]
The old structure dissolves…
before the new structure emerges…
And to those observing from the outside…
it appears…
as death.
[Outro]
