lyrics

The Lion’s Den

They say that love is like a lion
It can maim your life & kill
And I’ve known love like that lion
It’s torn my heart ‘til my blood was spilled.

Yes, love can be like a lion
It can tear down the bravest of men
But I’m not afraid of love or that lion
So I’ll walk into the lion’s den.

Chorus
For don’t you know that’s life not living?
Without a woman to give to & to care?
And I’d rather die than go on living
Knowing that love will never again be there.

I’ve been taunted by that lion
As love has come & love has gone
Savage was that heartless lion
As I sang love’s same sad song.

One day I’ll defeat that lion
Or so I pray with a last amen
And find love that’s not a lion
So I’ll walk into the lion’s den.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

They say that love is like a lion
It can wound & blight your days
And I’ve faced love like that lion
A bloody heart is what you pay.

Love can be vicious as a lion
It can destroy the bravest men
But I shall not fear love or that lion
As I walk into the lion’s den
As I walk into the lion’s den.
