Lionheart

Open-eyed, I’ve been waiting too long
Now I'm saying I want my melody
I'm calling out to the stars
Come melt down my iron bars
Crack open my shell set it free

Shake of the rust shake your hair like a lion’s mane
Pu's teeth to the world to bite down and carve your name
Running on lion-heart beautiful, unrestrained
Hit like a lightning strike to wake up your soul from the grave
Wake up to find yourself thinking that maybe you’re not the only one

Rising and turning then sinking
And burning without the warmth of a Sun
Feels like every muscle is pulling you
To the dirt and pitting you against the clock

Put your back into it give it all until you do it
If it’s the last thing that you do, until you die
Hunters always linger around the den where you lay
Frothing at the mouth every night and day

But the fool who hunts the king becomes the prey
You see the pride and hate me
But cry while you’re hesitating like a child that has lost their way
So may those who oppose come to recognize the might of a mind

Unchained unchained unchained unchained
Because it ain’t enough to dream and hope the day comes along
When everybody is dancing while they’re playing your song
Wake up to find yourself thinking that maybe you haven’t lost your mind

Rising and turning then sinking
And burning to leave all the weight far behind
Feels like every muscle is pulling you
To the dirt and pitting you against yourself

Lion-heart running reigning in the Sun
And seizing every night and day by the tail
Hunters always linger around the den where you lay
Frothing at the mouth every night and day

But the fool who hunts the king becomes the prey
Wake up to find yourself thinking that maybe you’re not the only one
Rising and turning then sinking
And burning without the warmth of a Sun
Feels like every muscle is pulling you
To the dirt and pitting you against the clock

Put your back into it give it all until you do it
If it’s the last thing that you do, until you die
Hunters always linger around the den where you lay
Frothing at the mouth every night and day
But the fool who hunts the king becomes the prey
