Lie in the Lion's Den (iPhone Demo)
I was a child when I saw it first
How daunting desert quenches thirst
The crushing weight of all we are to become
Landing and landing again as a drum
Oh nursery, winding back to see the hush of rushing leaves
Caught in the throes of a bygone tide
The patrimonial eclipse of a child
Too young to know of ancient things
Being eclipsed and resurfacing
God himself, residing in the gaps
Baited breath upon relapse
Unsacred pilgrimage homewards
Of this and this alone I am assured
My friend Ryan took it away
In a letter marked with this day
Return to sender- oh! what it meant
Money made, money spent
An entanglement of I don't know
In a dark digress of eloping hopes
And our hardened heads trespassing homes
Of this and this alone I am assured
Sun blasted your alabaster place
Winding brackets of brick and iron lace
Sankofa singing of all delight
Where dove and dove lay rest their plight
Share a relief of gold gated streets
Amber tinted, flooding eves
Carolinas each-and-each smiling at this ease
Something only I know well enough to
Love
Lion lie in the lion's den
Lion lie in the lion's den with me
With me for
With me for the end of all
Time
How daunting desert quenches thirst
The crushing weight of all we are to become
Landing and landing again as a drum
Oh nursery, winding back to see the hush of rushing leaves
Caught in the throes of a bygone tide
The patrimonial eclipse of a child
Too young to know of ancient things
Being eclipsed and resurfacing
God himself, residing in the gaps
Baited breath upon relapse
Unsacred pilgrimage homewards
Of this and this alone I am assured
My friend Ryan took it away
In a letter marked with this day
Return to sender- oh! what it meant
Money made, money spent
An entanglement of I don't know
In a dark digress of eloping hopes
And our hardened heads trespassing homes
Of this and this alone I am assured
Sun blasted your alabaster place
Winding brackets of brick and iron lace
Sankofa singing of all delight
Where dove and dove lay rest their plight
Share a relief of gold gated streets
Amber tinted, flooding eves
Carolinas each-and-each smiling at this ease
Something only I know well enough to
Love
Lion lie in the lion's den
Lion lie in the lion's den with me
With me for
With me for the end of all
Time
