Jericho

You feel so safe inside the walls you fortified
It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho

You build 'em up, you layer stone on stone
You build 'em high to keep out your enemies
The sky grows dark, the earth is trembling
An unhappy ending to your final fantasy

You feel so safe inside the walls you've fortified
Supremacy implied, who dares to overthrow?
Arrogance justified, self-importance amplified
It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho

We'll all enjoy the show when your walls fall like Jericho

You're looking down and feeling so profound
You're so impressed by your own false humility
The sky descends, the ground is rising up
An unhappy ending to your sense of deity

You feel so safe inside the walls you fortified
Supremacy implied, who dares to overthrow?
Arrogance justified, self-importance amplified
It's down you go when your walls fall like Jericho

This is over
This is over

You sit alone upon your lonely throne
You're so oblivious to your own frailty
The sky erupts, the ground has opened wide
An unhappy ending to the life you've glorified
To the life you've glorified

You feel so safe inside the walls you fortified
Supremacy implied, who dares to overthrow?
Arrogance justified, self-importance amplified
It's down you go, we'll all enjoy the show
Can't wait to see you go when your walls fall like Jericho

This is over
This is over
When your walls fall like Jericho
This is over
This is over

We'll all enjoy the show, it's d-d-down you go
Can't wait to see you go when your walls fall like Jericho
