written after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The title refers to one of the 7 gates to the city of Jerusalem
Lyrics
Enter through Damascus Gate into days of old
Lanterns will illuminate the streets are paved with gold
Do not stop nor hesitate sad and lonely lion
Don't you know the way is straight through the Gate of Zion
If you walk on Glory Road in the Golden City
Help your brother bear the load
Show the pilgrim pity
Do not stop nor hesitate sad and lonely lion
Don't you know the hour is late through the Gate of Zion
Angels come in darkest night while the bush is burning
Til the sky is snowy white we will be discerning
Do not try to tempt your fate sad and lonely lion
Do not ask how long to wait through the Gate of Zion
Do not stop nor hesitate
Do not ask how long to wait
Don't you know the hour is late
