lyrics

baby i don't understand the lions/I don't understand what they've done to you/you turn so pale and your bones so frail/with the teeth only half the way through/baby I don't understand the lions/i don't understand what they've done to you/your hands and wings fold as your heart runs cold/and it breaks you perfectly in two/with the teeth only half the way through/and I love you my god/i love you my god/when you're burning this world/darling i don't understand the lions/i can't understand what they've done to you/blood spills in the dust as your throat burns with trust/with the teeth only half the way through/and i love you my god/i love you my god/when your burning this world/baby i don't understand the lions/i can't understand what they've done to you/there's prayer from your lips in the blood that drips/from the teeth that are half the way through/and they're breaking you perfectly in truth.
