lyrics

Solid ground dissolving under me
Like vapour trails in the sky
I don’t deal well with open questions

Change never did agree with me
I was never taught how to cope
We’re men of faith, you’re doubting Thomas
We’re agents of change that you promised

Attacking what’s begotten
The stench of something rotten
And the values we’ve forgotten

From this wounded lion

Can I blame being tired of being me
For taking the fight to them?
Soothing weight of the homemade jacket

The genius that kissed me
To scribe my name in the history

Of this wounded lion, clapped in irons, reveal yourself to me

The image was appealing
We were sent to defend the fallen bride
Protect the lion’s heart

Don’t leave! Things look black without you.
Things look bleak without you in my life. Please don’t leave

Burning down the churches
Howling in the cloistered dark
Dictating what we eat, their audacity beggars my belief

Don’t leave! I need you here to guide me
To give me children who’ll survive me and tell tales of the man I am

Don’t leave.
Please don’t leave.

The current in the wire
Sets the all-consuming fire
That reveals me as a liar

To this wounded lion
Clapped in irons, relinquish your beliefs!
You can’t rely on this wounded lion
To redefine what’s free
Wounded lion, wounded lion
You made me the enemy
I’m the enemy?
