Текст песни I Was a Lion - Garrett Smith

I was a lion
King of my pride
Cutting my teeth without tryin'
On the questions one usually hides

But my mane got ragged and shabby
Just a "yes sir," quick nod, and obey
I was tame as a tired old tabby
Just agree with what my demons say

And I felt the fear of death
Start washing over my skin
Just a few more minutes immersion
And the sermon would thankfully end

And I was a lion
Yeah, I used to think I was so strong
Because I didn't fear dyin'
It took dyin' to prove me wrong
And I'm not happy at all with the present
Yeah, but when it is all that you've got
You would kill just to keep it
Yeah, just keep on delaying that rot

And I felt the fear of death
Bring me finally down to my knees
Just a few more minutes of digging
Surrounded by all of your trees

And you saw me
You called to me
The weight filled the width of my chest
Now I need it
I breathe it
The scent of the heavenly blessed

And I felt the fear of death
Start melting off of my bones
Just a few more minutes without you
And I could finally stop being alone
