The Rabbi At The Gates Of Prague - Beau[00:00:00]
The age-old Rabbi dreamed his dream[00:00:05]
Throughout the night of troubled sleep[00:00:09]
Of gold and silver buried deep[00:00:13]
Inside the clay outside the keep[00:00:17]
And under the pillars[00:00:21]
Of the gates of Prague [00:00:22]
Under the pillars[00:00:26]
Of the gates of Prague [00:00:26]
Across a barren land he came[00:00:32]
Through frontiers[00:00:36]
That were cold and chill [00:00:37]
Until he saw upon a hill[00:00:41]
A soldier trained to maim and kill[00:00:45]
Guarding the pillars[00:00:49]
Of the gates of Prague [00:00:50]
Guarding the pillars[00:00:53]
Of the gates of Prague [00:00:54]
It took a lifetime to explain[00:01:00]
The wherefore of his journey west [00:01:04]
But nothing moved the iron breast[00:01:08]
And laughter echoed from the jest[00:01:12]
Between the pillars[00:01:16]
Of the gates of Prague [00:01:17]
Between the pillars[00:01:21]
Of the gates of Prague [00:01:22]
"Such faith in you you foolish Jew [00:01:27]
Are you " he asked in disbelief [00:01:31]
"A fool or but a common thief [00:01:36]
There is no gold or silver leaf[00:01:40]
Beneath the pillars[00:01:44]
Of the gates of Prague [00:01:45]
Beneath the pillars[00:01:48]
Of the gates of Prague [00:01:49]
"I dreamed a dream " he mocked the sage [00:01:55]
"Of some old Rabbi from the East[00:01:59]
Who found a royal crown at least[00:02:03]
Beneath his door before a feast "[00:02:07]
So scoffed the soldier[00:02:12]
At the gates of Prague [00:02:13]
So scoffed the soldier[00:02:16]
At the gates of Prague [00:02:17]
The old man turned against the cold[00:02:22]
To face the barren waste ahead [00:02:27]
Yet faster came his weary tread[00:02:31]
When thinking what that soldier said[00:02:35]
Beside the pillars[00:02:39]
Of the gates of Prague [00:02:40]
Beside the pillars[00:02:43]
Of the gates of Prague [00:02:44]
Upon the day of Yom Kippur [00:02:50]
The Rabbi dug deep in the ground;[00:02:54]
And there beneath his door he found[00:02:58]
The diadem that David crowned [00:03:03]
And a light still burns[00:03:07]
Above the gates of Prague [00:03:08]
Burns for the Rabbi[00:03:11]
At the gates of Prague[00:03:12]
A light still burns[00:03:15]
Above the gates of Prague [00:03:16]
Burns for the Rabbi[00:03:19]
At the gates of Prague[00:03:20]
