"Lion" lyrics - HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER

HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER
"Lion"

A prayer on Earth, a prayer on high
High on war and born to die
Green arrow went around the bend
All my heroes rise again

Now, I saw the lion on the road today
He was ridin' the other way
I always thought you were my friend
Friends for life into the wind

How do I know about the future about the past?
How do I know about the lion's den?

Now [?]
Some fool tried to put a hole in me
But I'm the mountain I brought the rain
I took him through the wilderness

Now I saw the lion walking in chains
Set adrift in the hostage age
Always though you were my friend
Friends for life into the wind

How do I know about the lion about the lamb?
How do I know? I'll go to the lion's den
