Lyrics
Can you hear the sirens?
Apocalypse of violence
I?m in Jerusalem
A miracle must happen
No matter how they compromise
They cannot find peace of mind
The last truce never took hold
Heroes are growing old
The sound of violence lingers on
Evil intentions
Another suicide bomb
Two wrongs don?t make a right
This led to another incursion
Some say it?s occupation
The roads are blocked once more
It?s time to settle the score
The streets are empty again
They don?t want the new peace plan
Oh it?s a shame!
Will things ever change?
Everyone has a story
About the enemy
They live in constant fear
Whenever they are near
If they don?t trust each other
Then how can they ever find peace
Let?s all shake hands as brothers
And good neighbours we shall be
Can you hear the sirens?
I?m in Jerusalem
The struggle for existence
It?s them or us
I hope this song makes a difference
In Jerusalem
A miracle must happen
A miracle must happen now
A miracle must happen
A miracle must happen
A miracle must happen
God bless Jerusalem
