I looked behind a door
And saw a world that had disappeared long before
Hide my eyes from the light
And say the words that I can't understand
And Judah and the Maccabees they come to me
Singing
I looked behind a door
Into the eyes of a prophet who lived so long before
Hide the light from me
And say the prayers that I should understand
And if Elijah comes and takes a chair by me
I'll sing
And Judah and the Maccabees they come for me
Singing
