Lions and Spells

When you've grown much older
There's a story I will tell

About a wicked Mother
Who put people under spells

Do you remember when she took you
And you know she made a plan
In a coven full of witches
Plotting to break me as a man

But witches all have black hearts
And there's one thing they didn't know
That my love for you was stronger
Than the evil that they sowed

Whilst cackling around their cauldron
Thinking I was just a fool
They woke the Lion inside me
When they used you as their tool

Lions aren't afraid of witches
And they can't be hurt by spells
A Lion loves forever
And witches burn in hell
