Lyrics

Vs. 1:
Last night I dreamed of the Holy Land on her knees
The light from the West and the East had all but dimmed out

I saw her rise and all of her walls built with stone
Crumbled like bread and the crumbs fell to those on both sides

And I thought I heard her cry

Chorus:
Tell all the saints and the angels above you; tell your Messiahs, your lords
Those who have fallen lie peaceful beneath you, those who are spoils of war

Vs. 2:
I walked her streets; the dust and the bone ?neath my feet
The blood and the water and heat flowing thick in my veins

I saw a face rise from the ashes and stone
Eyes like diamonds from coal shining through a black veil

She was whispering a prayer

Chorus

Instrumental

Vs. 3:
And then the voice rose like a light through the East
And washed the Pacific as snow and the West drew its swords

And when I woke, fear made its way inside
No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn?t shake off

Yea, the voice that pierced the dark

Chorus

Those who have fallen lie peaceful beneath you, those who are spoils of war.
