Lyrics Lions (Radio Edit) - Vinci

We were lovers in a land far away
Where we fought no wars and we lived in caves
Then I met you in the middle ages
You said I was greater than Charlemagne
And in Rome, oh, how would I know
I would be painting faces while you sat on the throne
And I couldn′t keep my hands to myself
So they threw me to the lions while you cried out for help

But I'm running, running through my mind
Running from the lions, lions gonna teach me what I′m fighting for
Coming, coming 'round the mountain
Running from the siren, sirens say that they're gonna take my soul
I didn′t know you were the kind of girl
That could save me from the night
But then I came to know you and I gave you my world
I guess that we found love at the wrong time

Star-crossed, gazing at the skies, in disguise
Nothing more dangerous than men with guns believing lies
Sent to war but which side are we on
And what the fuck is this red band on my arm?
No I didn′t know you when Victoria ruled or
Pharaoh's used slaves to build their ruins
But I, I do now, and nothing has changed, nothing has changed

I′m running, running through my mind
Running from the lions, lions gonna teach me what I'm fighting for
Coming, coming ′round the mountains
Running from the sirens, sirens said that they're gonna take my soul
I didn′t know you were the kind of girl
That could save me from the night
But then I came to know you and I gave you my world
I guess that we found love at the wrong time

But there's no wrong time, this world's a crazy place
We could spend a thousand years and nothing would change
So can I take you home? Can we build a home?
There′s always atrocities
But it′s easier to smile when you're next to me

Even when I′m running, running through my mind
Running from the lions, lions gonna teach me what I'm fighting for
Coming, coming ′round the mountains
Running from the sirens, sirens say that they're gonna take my soul
I didn′t know you were the kind of girl
That could save me from the night
But then I came to know you and I gave you my world
I guess that we found love at the wrong time

I'm running, running through my mind
Running from the lions, lions gonna teach me what I'm fighting for
Coming ′round the mountains
Running from the sirens, sirens say that they′re gonna take my soul
I didn't know you were the kind of girl
That could save me from the night
But then I came to know you and I gave you my world
I guess that we found love at the wrong time
