Feed Them To The Lions

Wave old tattered banners on crumbling grey marble stairs
 Ancient ruins sing their mourning song
 Tales of old glory, a whisper in the air
 A stronger hand, oh what we could become
 From the throne divinely ruled, oh no one can deny my claim
 Darkest thoughts in golden rooms, no, pawns never survive this game
 They may call me heartless and cruel
 I just keep my people safe
 Heavy head that wears the crown
 Oh believe I feel the weight
 Heavy hand comes bearing down
 Kiss the ring that is sealing your fate
 Surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
 Each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
 A scythe through the grain for the thieves, crooks and the liars
 For oh Lord, judgement has come
 Feed 'em to the Lions
 On their knees and in chains
 Feed 'em to the Lions
 Removing the stain
 ♪
 After thunder comes a bitter rain
 Pleading voices sing the sweetest song
 Lessons some will only learn through pain
 A golden god is what you want
 Thorny roses start to bloom and crimson petals line my way
 Tear the weeds out by the root, a marble figure turns your way
 Through the blindfold she's gazing at you
 Justice wielding more than scales
 Heavy head that wears the crown
 Iron spring parts chaff from grain
 Heavy hand comes bearing down
 Fingers closing, the grip tightening
 Surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
 Each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
 A scythe through the grain for the thieves, crooks and the liars
 For oh lord, judgement has come
 Feed 'em to the Lions
 On their knees and in chains

 Pray for your life
 Your way to atonement and to be absolved from your crimes
 Your true allegiance, your intent declared
 For every lamb that has been led astray
 To be brought
