8/8 Lions at the Gate

Skirmish: 8/8 Palindrome (@hmstreetteam)

Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #folkrock
Something mysterious for the 8/8 Lion’s Gate portal. The 8/8 skirmish asked for palindromes. That explains why the main character is named Anna.

Lyrics

We are always asking Anna
Anna what can we do
I don’t know everything
I am only 22

Fire in the sky
Lions at the gate
These are signs for all of us
Act now the time is late

2 2 shadow of a shoe
4 4 flowers on the floor
6 6 bags of broken bricks
8 8 lions at the gate

Signs are with us every day
There for all to see
There could be one sign for you
A different sign for me

Fire in the sky
Lions at the gate
These are signs for all of us
Act now the time is late

2 2 shadow of a shoe
4 4 flowers on the floor
6 6 bags of broken bricks
8 8 lions at the gate

A shooting star across the sky
What can you see in your mind’s eye
We watch lions in the dust
The universe is watching us

2 2 shadow of a shoe
4 4 flowers on the floor
6 6 bags of broken bricks
8 8 lions at the gate

Lion's Gate is a new one for me- from what I have just read about it I think your song has captured the mystery of this really well

Perfectly captures the spirit of 80% of the lyrics in 1967-68 and with a Hammond Organ added it would have had a real Procul Harum vibe going for it.

A shooting star across the sky
What can you see in your mind’s eye
We watch lions in the dust
The universe is watching us" - love it!
