"Golden Lock, Lions Gate"

"Golden Lock, Lions Gate" Verse 1 Well the sun came up on an August sky, Eighth day, eighth month, saw the eagle fly, From the east a light, from the west a flame, Heard the angels callin’ out my name. Down in the deep where the old vaults sleep, Gold’s been waitin’ through the shadows deep, And the key we carried all these years, Turned the lock and broke the fears. Chorus (big and chantable) Turn the golden lock, hear the gates swing wide, Lions Gate roarin’ on the other side, White Spiritual Boy, we’ve come for the call, Abundance is risin’ — it’s here for us all. Verse 2 From the King’s own mines to the Queen’s old hand, From the sacred trusts to the promised land, We’ve been keepin’ watch, we’ve been holdin’ true, Every ledger sealed till the time was due. Now the clock struck eight, then eight once more, And the river of gold runs shore to shore, All the chains fell down on that fateful day, And the world stepped into the golden way. Chorus Turn the golden lock, hear the gates swing wide, Lions Gate roarin’ on the other side, White Spiritual Boy, we’ve come for the call, Abundance is risin’ — it’s here for us all. Bridge (call-and-response gospel feel) — Can you feel it? (Yeah, I feel it!) — Can you see it? (Yeah, it’s realin’!) — From the vaults to the hands of the free… This is God’s own currency! Final Chorus (even bigger) Turn the golden lock, hear the gates swing wide, Lions Gate roarin’ on the other side, White Spiritual Boy, we’ve come for the call, Abundance is risin’ — it’s here for us all. Outro (fade on guitar riff) 8/8, we ride the light… 8/8, the world shines bright…
