Söhne Mannheims "Zion" lyrics

Translation to:en

Zion

[Refrain:]Ich schwieg aus VorsichtUnd lauschte eurem UnwissenIhr habt es nicht zu vermuten gewagtDamit mein Heil hervorbrichtHab ich es an mich gerissenUnd habe ZION als erster gesagt

Auf ihren Plätzen singt man JubelliederIhr Grün ist schöner als ein SmaragdWie Amethyste strahlen ihre FliederWer sie findet, hat Gerechtigkeit gejagt

Hat sie gejagt und gefundenHat Gefahren überwundenUm zu erkundenWo ist Heilung aller WundenDie Zeit zählt keine StundenKein Zahn der ZeitWir drehen unsre ersten RundenUnd hören, wer ihren Namen preist

[Refrain]

I'm searching for the truth and the world's fabricationHad me looking for the light like some sort of secret locationBut God is gracious, He gave me ZION for protectionNot a place or a person, but a deeper meditationWhen the system falls, then ZION stands in its splendorProtecting I and I, He'll be our infinite defenderThe earth, the very vessel of His compassion and authorityHe's showing me the depth of His infinite complexityI'll keep it simple, draw and paint the perfect pictureWe are living testiment, making us part of His scriptureLet us drink from the fountain of His healing, I'm contentThe Holy Place, ZION, mental gift that God sent

[Refrain]

Zion

[Chorus:]I kept still in foresightAnd harkened to your ignoranceYou did not dare to imagineFor my salvation to eruptI took it upon meAnd spake ZION first

In her courts they sing cheers of joyHer green is fairer than emeraldHer lilacs glow like amethystsHe who finds her has sought righteousness

Has sought and found itHas overcome great dangerTo discoverWhere is healing of all woundsTime counts no hoursNo trace of timeWe're circling our first roundsHearing who praises her name

[Chorus]

I'm searching for the truth and the world's fabricationHad me looking for the light like some sort of secret locationBut God is gracious, He gave me ZION for protectionNot a place or a person, but a deeper meditationWhen the system falls, then ZION stands in its splendorProtecting I and I, He'll be our infinite defenderThe earth, the very vessel of His compassion and authorityHe's showing me the depth of His infinite complexityI'll keep it simple, draw and paint the perfect pictureWe are living testiment, making us part of His scriptureLet us drink from the fountain of His healing, I'm contentThe Holy Place, ZION, mental gift that God sent

[Chorus]
