Old Foes - 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 off the rust shake hair like a lion's mane
Put 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
Lionheart running
Reigning in the sun
And seizing every night and day by the tail
Hunters always linger at 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 stirring 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 round 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's
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 you do until you die
Hunters always linger round the den where you lay
Frothing at the mouth every night and day
But the fool
Who hunts
The king becomes the prey
