[B. Dickinson / Roy Z]
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...
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
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...
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
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, ha ha ha ha ha ha...
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 [x4]
The silence of the tomb...
The wheel of fortune
round...
(yea-eah)
