[Verse 1]
GThese walls they've Emheard the war calls
They Cwatch the sun fall Dover the feud
GAnd most days they hEmear the lost pray
CClaiming the path lay Donly in their viewG  G/F#  
[Chorus]
CAnd how can so much Dbeauty be
In Gancient hate Emfilled memories
The Cpaper wishes Gserve
only the Cstrong
when they are Dweak
CCries are drowned by Dprayers of peace
For Gthem but not Emtheir enemies
And Cmore sweet Dwater leaves the dying Gsea
[Verse 2]
GThese stones were small steps Emin long roads
They held Call the charred bones and Dburied the clues
And each Gholds a story Emthat grows old
But Cglories are retold Duntil they are Gtrue
[Chorus]
CAnd how can so much Dbeauty be
In Gancient hate Emfilled memories
The Cpaper wishes Gserve
only the Cstrong
when they are Dweak
CCries are drowned by Dprayers of peace
For Gthem but not Emtheir enemies
And Cmore sweet Dwater leaves the dying Gsea
[Verse 3]
GThese eyes they never really dEmry
They Cstay between weeping and Dchoking back tears
GThey long for a people who Emcare more
For pCeople who care for the Dones who they Gfear
[Chorus]
CAnd how can so much Dbeauty be
In Gancient hate Emfilled memories
The Cpaper wishes Gserve
only the Cstrong
when they are Dweak
CBut even all the Dblurring lines
GThey live as part Embut don't define
CJerusalem is Dshining over Emme
CCrying for the Ddead and dying Gsea
[Outro]
CJerusalem is Dshining over Emme
CCrying for the Ddead and dying Gsea
