The Lion doesn't sleep tonight

The Lion doesn't sleep tonight What will you turn out to be There is always that monster in your dream It knows you more than you know It's royal head piece displays its regal determination I fought fear and thought Id won But this male lion has no regard for stature or tenure One day of no reason but the single purpose my own deletion The monsters have been of giant birds which I fought with all my might But they don;t die and appear to represent the after life Always a in chorus and harmony of Ravens and Great White Owls Like a witness of an alien being' Like the quickness of a sighting of some other dimension No one believes, no one can follow your imagine Everyone becomes more sane at your sudden disdain The perfect man can care for a million The hero of contempt To carry a failure of millions upon his back Like Atlas Like crosses like an atomic bomb Those who go peaceful into the endless night Have nurtured pain appear at loss They had no choice As lamb too curious Too perilous to begin judgement Nature is their jury There's no penance No tolerance in expect They are already far off in a dream
