Nazareth Revisited Lyrics
Written by Jamey Bilyeu
I rolled out of Nazareth, my guitar on my back.
This dusty road I walk, ain’t on the beaten track
And I feel, like I’ve been down this road, this lonely road before…
Went to the mountain top, and talked to the old man.
“I’d like to help you son, but you’ve got to understand,
That the time for understanding, is not quite yet at hand.”
Ohhhh sweet Jesus…
Ohhhh sweet sweet child…
Ohhhh sweet Jesus, release us…
Ohhhh back to the wild….
“Don’t you listen to that burning Bush, down in the desert sage.
Just like the demon kings of a former age,
He will lead you all to madness, he will lead you all to rage.”
And soon the walls of Jericho, will finish falling down.
Just like the Joshua Tree on the other side of town.
And the waves of war will come no more, when the mountains tumble down…
Chorus
It ain’t no ancient mystery, it ain’t no Holy Grail.
Ain’t nobody listening to the old forgotten tales.
But I feel like I’ve been listening since the Word began to fail.
Chorus
Additional Verse
It seems I no longer know the words to my own songs.
I’d try to remember them, but it’s been way too long.
So I’ll just sit my self down and write another one.
