| [00:11.61] |
Oh Jerusalem yeah, oh Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem... |
| [00:29.13] |
|
| [00:34.10] |
Realizing that there's no place else to go |
| [00:38.33] |
And there's nobody I know who can help me |
| [00:44.24] |
Text book solutions are so improbable |
| [00:48.81] |
Cuz everybody else is just as empty |
| [00:54.08] |
Naked as the day that I was born, I tried to hide |
| [00:59.28] |
...behind education and philosophy |
| [01:04.68] |
Hopeless explanation to describe a situation |
| [01:09.71] |
I can't see because the world's on top of me |
| [01:15.73] |
Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me |
| [01:20.95] |
From the body of this death |
| [01:25.68] |
Freeing me from dust, and the superficial trust |
| [01:30.70] |
Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath |
| [01:35.93] |
Failing to connect, cuz I'm morally defect |
| [01:41.44] |
By reason of the God inside my head |
| [01:46.48] |
Causing me to see, only what pertains to me |
| [01:52.18] |
Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead |
| [01:57.25] |
Limited to earth, unable to find out my worth |
| [02:01.66] |
Cuz I... can't see past my own vanity |
| [02:07.43] |
If I'm not included, then I just have to remove it |
| [02:12.87] |
From my mind because it has to be in sanity |
| [02:18.10] |
Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me |
| [02:23.97] |
From the body of this death |
| [02:28.61] |
Can I even factor, that I've only been an actor |
| [02:33.90] |
In this staged interpretation of this day |
| [02:39.10] |
Focused on the shadow, with my back turned to the light |
| [02:44.17] |
Too intelligent to see it's me in the way |
| [02:49.53] |
What a paradox, having God trapped in a box |
| [02:54.93] |
All this time professing to be spiritual |
| [03:00.03] |
Naturally pretending, that I'm actually defending |
| [03:05.28] |
God (?) don't need material |
| [03:09.24] |
|
| [03:10.55] |
Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness |
| [03:15.74] |
That thou may be saved from thy deception |
| [03:21.03] |
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee |
| [03:25.56] |
Oh Jerusalem, keeping thee from perfection |
| [03:29.31] |
|
| [03:32.07] |
Submit to truth, leave the deception of thy youth |
| [03:35.67] |
So we could walk in the council of authority |
| [03:41.46] |
Forget the proof, our generation so aloof |
| [03:46.56] |
Only follow in the steps of the majority |
| [03:51.91] |
Trust in the Lord, with all thy heart |
| [03:55.61] |
And lay not to thine, oh an understanding in all thy ways |
| [04:02.47] |
Acknowledge Him, and He shall correct our paths |
| [04:07.70] |
Be (?) you can follow him |
| [04:12.69] |
We judge and condemn, just as ignorant as them |
| [04:17.38] |
Who religion tells us that we should ignore |
| [04:23.46] |
Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him |
| [04:27.73] |
Exposed by the very things that we adore |
| [04:33.07] |
We grin and shake hands, then lay ambush for the man |
| [04:38.07] |
Who has a different point of view then us |
| [04:43.63] |
Infuriated cuz he doesn't understand |
| [04:48.67] |
Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss |
| [04:54.02] |
Why still do evil, we don't know how to do good |
| [04:58.89] |
Walking on in darkness running from the light, ey |
| [05:04.57] |
Led to believe, because we live in neighborhoods |
| [05:09.33] |
Telling us what's going on will be alright |
| [05:15.07] |
Oh so repressed, so convinced that I was blessed |
| [05:20.21] |
When I played with my game of Monopoly |
| [05:25.39] |
Oh to suggest, that my life is still a mess |
| [05:30.50] |
Who reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me |
| [05:34.07] |
|
| [05:35.55] |
Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness |
| [05:41.05] |
That thou may be saved from thy deception |
| [05:46.65] |
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee |
| [05:51.04] |
Oh Jerusalem keeping them from perfection |
| [05:55.38] |
|
| [05:57.26] |
Abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bare |
| [06:02.41] |
...fruit of itself except in the vine |
| [06:07.15] |
I am the vine, ye are the branches, He's in live in me |
| [06:12.44] |
And I in him, the same bring forth much fruit |
| [06:18.16] |
Without me, you can do nothing |
| [06:21.38] |
Oh Jerusalem, you're traditions have deceived you |
| [06:28.52] |
I've chosen you, you haven't chosen me |
| [06:32.13] |
Do whatsoever, you asking my name he may give to you |
| [06:38.75] |
But in vain they call my name |
| [06:41.48] |
teaching doctrines just the same |
| [06:44.34] |
Justified among themselves |
| [06:49.41] |
But God know with the heart, what man esteemed as smart |
| [06:54.52] |
Is an abomination to Emmanuel |
| [07:00.44] |
Just repent, turn from selfish motivation |
| [07:05.56] |
So iniquity will not cause your demise |
| [07:10.79] |
Make you a new heart and a new spirit for why would he die |
| [07:17.10] |
Oh Jerusalem, please tell me why |
| [07:21.14] |
I have no pleasure in the death of him to die |
| [07:25.71] |
Says the Lord God where forth turn yourselves and live |
| [07:31.06] |
It's not the talkers, but the walkers and his word |
| [07:36.02] |
Are the only ones the Father will forgive |
| [07:39.09] |
|
| [07:41.54] |
Oh Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness |
| [07:46.77] |
That thou may be saved from thy deception |
| [07:52.42] |
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee |
| [07:56.81] |
Oh Jerusalem, providing you no protection |
| [08:01.29] |
|
| [08:02.25] |
Oh Jerusalem... |
| [08:36.06] |
(The end) |
