Balls of fire, firewalls;
men inside their tall stone halls.
Safe are we, say learned men;
all is well inside this pen.
On door we knock; they bullets nock.
With spear they thrust; in God we trust.
Round and round He says to go,
these mighty walls of Jericho.
Sin will rain when Satan reigns.
Those who rule? The most deranged.
Men who steal in birds of steel;
know not kneel dance dead in heel.
Women spurn while children burn;
free men lie in ash of urn.
Round and round He says to go,
these mighty walls of Jericho.
Abused abuse abused;
none just to quell the fuse.
The cracks we see: the last day be,
near those refuge refuse.
Foundation firm will fail;
the meekly weak prevail.
The First is Last, and last are first,
to we who know Avail.
Keep walking my dear Israel.
Fear not their height; all shall lay fell.
Round and round He says to go,
these mighty walls of Jericho.
Walls of Jericho
