You are a dreamer of dreams walking a lonely shore   Dream if you will but remember there are iron laws   However much you seek to solve this mystery   No one ignores the iron vice of history   All those gone before dreamed to escape   They tried to fly over the palisades      Chorus:   Standing at the gates   This is jericho   And the walls reach up to the stars   And outside we were singing psalms   Such a strange, strange place   For we are the prisoners   Of the prisoners we have taken   And the prophets' dreams are now forsaken      Sing me the songs of a world that I once knew   Recall the legends once so proud and true   My people used to live here not so long ago   But they fled into the night and I was left alone   I guard these walls for you and me   Dream on, sail on my memory      Chorus
