Lyrics The Lion's Den - David Broza

The Lion's Den

Come walk the road to the lion’s den
South of midnight
Karachi Pakistan
Some named it the nursery
Some named it shed
A compound, a shack, the papers said
I found it in my father’s holy book
The lion’s den
The lion’s den
The lion’s den, the caption read
Come touch the walls on which two eyes
With a thousand dreams wrote songs
Of fierce-some battles, ancient wars, that for seven days went on
I found it in my father’s holy book
The lion’s den, the caption read
Never in history of humanity
There has been such pain
Never has there stood the son of Abel
So fiercely facing Cain
Never has a ray of light
Intense in charge and aim
Illuminated evil in his name
I found it in my father’s holy book
The lion’s den, the caption read
