Micah part 3 (Gates of Jerusalem)

A musical based on the prophet Micah written and composed by Jack Pontes. Music by Moby.

Gates of Jerusalem




Tell it not in Gath
Weep not at all
Roll in the dust
In Beth Ophrah

Pass on in nakedness
And in shame
You who live in Shaphir
And Zaanan

Beth Ezel is mourning there for you
Her protection is taken from the few
Those who live in Maroth writhe in pain
While waiting for relief disaster strikes again

Chorus
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

You who live in Lachish
Harness your teams
You will be conquered
By not what it seems

The glory of Israel
Will shave his head
Bald as a vulture
Around the dead

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Because of this I will weep and wail
Howling like a jackal
Moaning like an owl

Her sin is totally out of this world
It's mounting and incurable
No longer endurable

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Because of this I will weep and wail
Howling like a jackal
Moaning like an owl

Her sin is totally out of this world
It's mounting and incurable
No longer endurable

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Built with iron

Even to the gates of Jerusalem
The gates of my people
Daughters of Zion
Even to the gates of Jerusalem
