Lyrics
Poor Jerusalem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Neither you, simon, nor the fifty thousand
Nor the romans, nor the jews
Nor Judas, nor the twelve
Nor the priests, nor the scribes
Nor doomed jerusalem itself
Understand what power is
Understand what glory is
Understand at all
Understand at all
If you knew all that I knew, my poor jerusalem
You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes
But you close your eyes
While you live your troubles are many
Poor jerusalem
To conquer death, you only have to die
You only have to die
