Lyrics The Lioness - Frank Turner
They
said
that
times
were
hard
for
honest
men,
But
she
didn't
give
a
damn
because
she
wasn't
one
of
them.
I
don't
mean
to
imply
that
she
ever
told
a
lie,
But
she
was
raised
in
the
harem
and
told
to
keep
quiet.
She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
anymore,
She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
anymore.
Married
off
young
and
set
aside,
Huda
always
burned
bright,
she
wasn't
one
to
hide.
She
taught
herself
languages
and
poetry,
She
taught
herself
to
speak
so
she
could
set
herself
free.
Look
on
her
works,
ye
mighty
men,
She
opened
up
the
harem,
they
can't
close
it
up
again.
She
stepped
off
a
ledge
and
let
herself
fall
free,
She
stepped
off
the
train
and
into
history.
She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
anymore,
She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
anymore.
She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
anymore,
She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
anymore.
Huda
Sha'arawi
was
the
Lioness'
name.
A
heart
well
fed,
eyes
aflame,
A
face
uncovered
showing
what
she
overcame:
Huda
is
the
Lioness,
she
won't
be
tamed.
She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
anymore,
She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
anymore.
She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
anymore,
She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
anymore.
(She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
Anymore)
Everyone
should
know
her
name.
(She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
Anymore)
The
Lioness
will
not
be
tamed.
(She
isn't
going
to
hide
her
face
Anymore)
Everyone
should
know
her
name.
(She
isn't
going
to
know
her
place
Anymore)
The
Lioness
will
not
be
tamed.
