	作曲 : Miller, Werner
	The place lays phased like a warrior slayed
	Engraved into the space with his sword still raised
	Layers of charcoal sprayed through hallways
	Praise relays off the walls echoing all ways
	Dirt covered earth lays beneath my rib cage
	Giving birth to overgrowth invading on to path ways
	Burnt out trees cover streets where children once played
	Sown seeds decay through sacred stepping stones in disarray
	Where the alter used to be placed inter-changed for bloodstains
	Sunrays illuminate the smoke filled haze
	Trace of incense scents of sacrifice stayed
	[Chorus:]
	Aish tamid eternally
	A fire burns continuously
	Wondering where you been
	Won't you come on home to me?
	Flash back patches of grass growing wild in fact
	Cracked walls burnt black like a kingdom sacked
	Memories like artifacts attacked yet still intact
	Melodies wrapped in glass and shatter with the impact
	Air intermingling ringing with the singing
	of songs once sung, hung, flung into the rafters
	Catastrophe struck the sound stuck
	Disaster plastered
	The aftermath a blasted building once standing, like a starved man fasting
	the skies expanding clouds passing, dust particles dancing,
	in broken bars of light, streaming from a shaft, slashed into the ceiling,
	Sshhhh, you could feel the ground breathing.
	[Chorus]
	Daughter of Zion is lying crying in the mist
	Morning light slips in, shifting through the darkness
	Like a morning wife reminisce having visions of her long gone prince
	Memories drip rain drops tip towing emptiness
	Intermixed with tears like fears left unfixed
	Walls worn thin frozen fortress like dawn waiting for the sunrise of a day that got skipped
	Like a life gone wrong wandering wilderness
	Lovesick stripped abyss empty once luscious
	[Chorus]
	Paint the scene so you could see, the city's picking up speed
	On a bench 14th street, taxi's streaming yellow streaks
	Spears piercing through my ears, you could hear the traffic speak
	Jack hammers drill smacking through the cracking concrete
	Buildings filled with windowsills spilled tangled telephone wires
	Signs sparking neon lights flash like wild fire
	My insides rise I start to feel paralyzed
	Let out a sigh-a 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 like a dream
	I'm left empty like the temple turned into a fox den
	Bus fumes dripping spitting into city summer sun
	Sifting through the ash dimly lit vision listening
	To the hiss lifting off a nighttime ocean
	Shim, shim, shimmering singing hair on my skin
	Glim, glim. Glimmering, whispering where ya been
	From amidst the darkness set sail with the softness
	Breeze traveling across the seas arisen from with in Mt. Zion
	Wind coming in picking up momentum
	Cutting crisply through the thickness riding on a rhythm
	A rollercoaster sizzling, twisting down the mountain
	ripping rocket ship exploding like a fountain
	overflowing spilling through the courtyards of Jerusalem
	Uncovering debris lifting up the fallen arisen within
	to reach the yiddin even in Manhattan
	exposed menorah glowing in the shadows of destruction
	trailblazing through affliction
	brushing off the branches golden
	standing strong flames
	dancing like a lion roaring rising out of nothing
