Look the bright and shining walls
Look the tall and winding halls
Look the temple and the spires
Listen to the harps and lyres
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Look there's blood on every corner
Babylon I tried to warn her
Look the rising rising tide
Such a waste such a beauty such a bride
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Tried to warn her but it would not take
Will I ever live to see her wake
Listen to my pretty song
Look for her will she always be gone
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
