I walk this desert city
I wait its every turn
I walk beside the greedy
And those who are concerned

I haunt its every moment
My soul that's full or cars
My faces are the building
My jacket like the stars

I know this desert city to the bone

I prowl the streets of stone
There arches like a sky
Jerusalem, my throne
The people, my Rye

My army, Pride of Lions
Your ignorance has won!
We gather all in silence
In silence we go on

I know this desert city to the bone

Now, deprived of all my armies
I sit here all alone
Seven crows are my companions
To me there secrets shown

My heart is made of water
With ash and tar and bones
Love a distant mutter
At the court of the king of stones

I know this desert city to the bone
