The lion's last roar
By Amado5
[Verse 1]
Did my killer think he won a crown?
Did he think he could tear me down?
Ten in front and ten behind,
With a herd, he aligned.
Armed to the teeth against my broken frame,
Why does he rejoice? Why is there no shame?
The crowd applauds a coward’s strike,
A fallen world where monsters like.
[Chorus]
[Explosion of massive choir and cinematic drums]
When hyenas gather to consume a noble soul,
They think they won, they think they are whole.
But a lion never bows to a raging beast,
You are just a shadow at a stolen feast.
Stand alone, face to face, one on one,
And you would run before the day is done!
[Verse 2]
They cornered me, a lethal, ringed-in trap,
While the world watched it all unwrap.
The youngest came, armed with steel and spite,
While I stood bound, stripped of my might.
Oh, if God gave me just one command,
I’d tear them apart with my bare hand.
Perhaps when we meet in the life ahead,
The debts will be paid, and the truth will be said.
[Chorus]
[Explosion of massive choir and cinematic drums]
When hyenas gather to consume a noble soul,
They think they won, they think they are whole.
But a lion never bows to a raging beast,
You are just a shadow at a stolen feast.
Stand alone, face to face, one on one,
And you would run before the day is done!
[Bridge]
[Whisper]
Now my legs give out, my breath grows cold,
While their wicked laughter takes its hold.
Their loud celebration fills the air,
Fading the noise of a world unfair.
But through the roaring of the crowd,
A quiet weeping, deep and loud.
[Outro]
A chained cub watches my final breath,
Knowing my fate, witnessing death.
Dig your claws into their throats, my young son,
Finish the fight that I have begun.
It is enough that you are here by my side,
Slay my executioner, let justice guide.
