I Am the Lion

歌詞

Son of Mine, can you hear the sound, hear the sound of repetition as clockwork I’m always peeling back your skin to rip the legions from your heart Every scar you leave yourself is a jewel in the making I would give new passion yet you’ve turned your back Like a devil of details cut your throat you’re so addicted You’ll swing the hammer and I’ll turn your nails to gold Like a devil of details you’re so addicted You’ll swing the hammer and I’ll turn your nails to gold You will know my voice when the hair on your neck stands up I opened this door, and I will bring the end All gives way and all will fall to their knees and beg for grace Son of mine these letters I swear have not been burnt My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless like a foot on my neck to the ground (on my neck to the ground) I’m longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand Here I am I await you My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless like a foot on my neck to the ground (on my neck to the ground) I’m longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand You will know my voice Here I am I am the Lion Clear the path I am the Lion You brood of snakes I am the Lion
