[Verse 1]
The [Am]place lays phased [Dm]like a warri[Am]or slayed
Engraved into the space [C]with his
sword still [Dm]raised[Am]
Layers of charcoal [Dm]sprayed
through [Em]hallways
Praise [Am]relays off the walls [C]echo
[Dm]ing all [G]ways
[Am][Dm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Dirt covered earth [Dm]lays
beneath my [Em]rib cage
Giving [Am]birth to overgrowth [C]in
vading on to path [Dm]ways[Em]
[Am]Burnt out trees cover [Dm]street
s where children once [Am]played
[G]Sown [Am]seeds decay through sacred
[C]stepping [Dm]stones [C]in disarray
[Em]Where the alte[Am]r used to be place[Dm]d
inter-changed for for blood[Em]stains[G]
[Am]Sunrays [C]illuminate
the smoke filled [Dm]haze
[Em]Trac[Am]e of incense scent[Dm]s of sacrifice[Em]
stayed

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Dm]Chorus:
[C]Aish tamid eternally[Dm]
[C][Dm]
[C]A fire burns continuously
[Dm]Wondering where you been
Won't you [C]come on home to me?

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Flash back [Am]patches of grass
[Dm]growing wild in [Em]fact
[G]Cracked wal[Am]ls burnt black lik[C]e
a kingdom [Dm]sacked
Memor[Am]ies like artifacts [Dm]at
tacked yet still [Am]intact
[G]Melod[Am]ies wrapped in glass
and shat[C]ter [Dm]with the [C]im [Dm]pact
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Air intermingling [Dm]ringing
with the singing
[Am]of songs once sung, hung,
[C]flung into the [Dm]rafters
[Em]Catastro[Am]phe struck the sound[Dm] stuck
Disaster [Em]plastered
[G]The aft[Am]ermath a blasted building[Dm] once standing,
[Em]like a [Am]starved man fasting
[Dm]the skies ex p[Am]anding clouds passing,
dust [C]particles dancing,
[Dm]in broke[Am]n bars of light, streaming from [Dm]a shaft,
slashed [Am]into the [G]ceiling,
[Am]Sshhhh, you could feel
the ground breathing.
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]Chorus[C]
[Am]Daughter of Zion is lying
crying [G]in the mist
Morning [Am]light slips in,
shifting through [G]the darkness
Like a [Am]morning wife reminis[G]ce having vis
[Am]ions of [Dm]her long g[Am]one [G]prince
Memories [Am]drip rain drops [Dm]tip
towing [G]empti[Em]ness
Inter[Am]mixed with tears
like [C]fears left unfixed
[Dm]Wall[Am]s worn thin froz[Dm]en fortr[Am]ess like dawn waiting
for the sun[C]rise of a [G]day that got [Dm]skipped
[Em]Like a [Am]life gone wrong wan
[Dm]dering [G]wilder[Am]ness
[G]Lovesick [Am]stripped abys[C]s empty once
[Dm]lus [Am]cious[Gsus4][C][F]
[G][Am]
[C]Cho[F]rus

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][Am][G][Am]
[F][G][Am]
[F][C][Em]
Paint [Am]the scene so you could see,

[Verse 7]
[Am]
the city's picking up speed
On a bench 14th street,
taxi's streaming yellow [Dm]streaks
Spears [Em]piercing through my [Am]ears,
you could hear the traffic speak
Jack [Dm]hammers drill smack[Am]ing
through the cracking concrete
Buildings filled with windowsills
spilled tangled telephone wires
Signs sparking neon lights
flash like [Dm]wild fire
My in[Am]sides rise I start to feel
paralyzed
Let out a sigh-a melody melody blew by-
like an ancient war cry
the way the sunlight hit the trees it really caught my eye,
glistening' listening' to the breeze
dancing' through the leaves,
freeze, the city move's in slow motion [Am]like

[Interlude 3]
a dream
[G][Am][G][Am][F][Am]
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 8]
I'm left [Am]empty like the temple
turned in[G]to a fox den
[Am]Bus fumes dripping spitting
into [G]city summer sun
Sifting [Am]through the ash
dimly lit vis[G]ion listening
To [Am]the hiss lifting off a night[G]time
[Am]ocean
Shim, shim, shimmering singing
[G]hair on my skin
Glim, glim. Glimmering,
whisper[Am]ing where ya [G]been

[Verse 9]
[Am]From amidst the darkness set [G]sail
with the soft[Am]ness[G]
Breeze [Am]traveling across the seas arisen
[G]from with [C]in Mt. [G]Zion[Am][G]
[Am]Wind coming in picking [G]up momentum
Cutting [Am]crisply through the
thickness riding [G]on a rhythm
A [Am]rollercoaster sizzling,
twisting [G]down the mountain
ripping rocket [Am]ship exploding
like a fountain
[G]overflowing spilling through the [Am]courtyards of
[G]Jerusalem[Am][G][Am]
[G][Am]
Uncovering [G]debris lifting up
the fallen [Am]arisen within
to reach the [G]yiddin even in Manhattan
[Am]exposed menorah glowing in the [G]shadows
of [Am]destruction
trailblazing through affliction
brushing [G]off the branches golden
standing [Am]strong flames
dancing like [G]a lion roaring rising out of [Am]nothing
