We say a prayer in the dark Light a fire, light the spark When morning comes They'll breach the walls With all their might The kingdom falls Raise your swords up high Defenders of Jerusalem In the burning skies I will claim all your lives, heaven Heaven waits for us all Defenders of Jerusalem Like a shining star in the sky We lay our swords to the ground Holy oath where I was bound We kept the promises of old An ancient story never told Raise your swords up high Defenders of Jerusalem In the burning skies I will claim all your lives, heaven Heaven waits for us all Defenders of Jerusalem In the burning skies I will claim all your lives, heaven Heaven waits for us all Defenders of Jerusalem Like a shining star in the sky Bury the dead Say a prayer in the dark Lay em to rest forever Facing the east, a shining star Defenders of Jerusalem In the burning skies I will claim all your lives, heaven Heaven waits for us all Defenders of Jerusalem Like a shining star In the burning skies I will claim all your lives, heaven Heaven waits for us all Defenders of Jerusalem Like a shining star Like a shining star Like a shining star
