Jerusalem The Black

How many miles

To Babyland?

Well, it's there

And back again!

Your bellied walls

Are clouding towards me

Look here and there

Look around!

I'll take you to Jerusalem

The black

And to Babylon the golden

The wet silvered stars

The gold mouthed

Wet speared sun

Beyond your heart

They guide you to

Jerusalem the black

And there to Babylon

The golden

Lovely kissed stoneworks

Blessed by many hands

And lips

All in the silence

Were dragged on knees

To Jerusalem the sleeping

And to Babylon the great

Babylon awake

And laughing

Jerusalem asleep

And smiling

Someone I know

He holds a gun

And shoots with his heart in

Jesus

Someone I know

Looks in your heart

Surrounded by

Ferocious angels
