lyrics

Living in the lion’s jaws
Shown no mercy
The soul in nonliving things
Losing connection

Safe in the tall grass
Wincing from afar, remaining silent
A river shrieks and then the mountains moan

Living in the lion’s jaws
Callous caretakers
The soul in every living thing
Shrinking nature

An ear to the the ground
Vibrations turn to a roar- it’s closing in
A forest goes quiet; lakes start to tremble

Giants once roamed these groves
Giants roamed these plains
I am waiting for the, I am waiting for the
The lions to fall asleep at my feet

Living in the lion’s jaws
Fleeting courage
Wondering where the heroes are-
Bygone virtue

Wet a finger
Raise it in the air- feel earth’s breath
Lie naked on the ground and feel its pulse

Giants once roamed these groves
Giants roamed these plains
I am waiting for the, I am waiting for the
The lions to fall asleep at my feet

Living in the lion’s jaws
Kinship severed
What creatures will be left to translate
The last babbling brook?
