Neither you simon nor the fifty thousand

Nor the romans nor the jews

Nor judas nor the twelve

Nor the priests nor the scribes

Nor doomed jerusalem itself

Understand what power is

Understand what glory is

Understand at all

Understand at all

If you knew all that I knew my poor jerusalem

You'd see the truth but you close your eyes

But you close your eyes

While you live your troubles are many poor jerusalem

To conquer death you only have to die

You only have to die
