Wave old tattered banners on crumbling grey marble stairs
Ancient ruins sing their mourning song
Tales of old glory, a whisper in the air
A stronger hand, oh what we could become
From the throne divinely ruled, oh no one can deny my claim
Darkest thoughts in golden rooms, no, pawns never survive this game
They may call me heartless and cruel
I just keep my people safe
Heavy head that wears the crown
Oh believe I feel the weight
Heavy hand comes bearing down
Kiss the ring that is sealing your fate
Surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
Each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
A scythe through the grain for the thieves, crooks and the liars
For oh Lord, judgement has come
Feed 'em to the Lions
On their knees and in chains
Feed 'em to the Lions
Removing the stain
After thunder comes a bitter rain
Pleading voices sing the sweetest song
Lessons some will only learn through pain
A golden god is what you want
Thorny roses start to bloom and crimson petals line my way
Tear the weeds out by the root, a marble figure turns your way
Through the blindfold she's gazing at you
Justice wielding more than scales
Heavy head that wears the crown
Iron spring parts chaff from grain
Heavy hand comes bearing down
Fingers closing, the grip tightening
Surrender your name, your page is torn out and is brought unto the fire
Each word a transgression, each deed carefully weighed
A scythe through the grain for the thieves, crooks and the liars
For oh lord, judgement has come
Feed 'em to the Lions
On their knees and in chains
Feed 'em to the Lions
Removing the stain

Pray for your life
Your way to atonement and to be absolved from your crimes
Your true allegiance, your intent declared
For every lamb that has been led astray
To be brought
