Lions In A Cage Lyrics

Lions In A Cage lyrics

wish that i had been born long before 
my brother's got me up against the
wall 
of my siblings i'm the lucky one 
left alive here where there is no
sun 
i was put here at the age of four 
fifty odd years spent behind a
door 
one more day and i will be the king 
people will believe it,
they'll believe in anything 

see the lions in the cage, see the victims
of the rage 
lions, lions in a cage, fifty years behind a wall 
lions,
lions in a cage, see those lions in the cage 

thirteen yards of dusty
dungeon floor 
is the longest path i've walked before 
they took me out
into the glaring sun 
and still they tell me i'm the lucky one 
single
out the weak link in the chain 
a generation damaged in the brain 
i'll
lift my head up high and see the sun 
and then when it's my turn, i'll make
sure that i spare no one 

see the lions in the cage, see the victims of
the rage 
lions, lions in a cage, fifty years behind a wall 
lions, lions
in a cage, see those lions in the cage 

whose hands are these? they reach
in and take my own life 
with my hands... but i've killed my brothers, too.
when i had to.
i have no doubt. 
i have no soul. 
whose hands are
these? 
who took away the light? 
who has the right? 
who gives a
damn! 
"do what you will" shall be the whole of the law!
