Lyrics
A lion lifts his head with restless eyes
there is movement in the field
Somewhere it seems to hear its future cries
as this native lifts his shield.
From all around the dark shapes start to rise
crucifixion imminent
Their frozen blades reflect the clearing skies
awareness, life, blood spent
Pools...of his anger are
rip...pling from piercing blades
Cries through the morning sun
end...solo renegade
A vulture drops his head with eager eyes
there is carrion in the field
It seems to hear the echoes of past cries
beside a fractured shield
Pools...of his anger are
rip...pling from piercing blades
Cries through the blazing sun
end...solo renegade.
Pools...of his anger are
rip...pling from piercing blades
Cries through the mourning sun
end...
