LION OF THE MOUNTAIN
(Barry Moore)

There's a creature on the mountain lived in perfect peace,
Been there in his slumber through all the centuries.
Happy in the mountain, peaceful left alone,
Lately he's been hunted, taken from his home.

Man brought him to the city, locked him in a hole,
In this evil captivation, he burned with anger in his soul.
Take a lion from the mountain, lock him in a cage,
He'll fight you with a vengeance in another age.

See our waters laden down,
See our waters, just a dumping ground.

This creature in the city grows more angry in his pain.
He burns with deadly hatred. He must be moved again.
There are ships out on the ocean sailing through the night
Bearing cargo of destruction sailing slowly.

Now the creature of the mountain waits in anger in the sea.
He will poison all around him. He'll punish you and me.
Once he was so peaceful. Now he's full of hate.
He was taken from the mountain. He longs to seal our fate.
