I looked behind a door

And saw a world

That had disappeared long before

Hide my eyes from the light

And say the words

That I can't understand

And Judah and the Maccabees

They come to me

Singing

I looked behind a door

Into the eyes of a prophet

Who lived so long before

Hide the light from me

And say the prayers

That I should understand

And if Elijah comes

And takes a chair by me

I'll sing

And Judah and the Maccabees

They come for me

Singing

Singing
