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
