Lion Wind

A lionesque wind
Came to circle, to yowl
To prey upon us in the end
Into a small space, to prowl

With the strength of its pride
It tore wood, made an opening
And its mouth opened wide
For a sickening happening...

Forecasts warned, a storm
We were not prepared
As evil performed
Subtlety aired

This poem would look great in a lion's mouth!

[Verse 1] A lionesque wind came to circle, to yowl To prey upon us in the end Into a small space, to prowl With the strength of its pride [Verse 2] It tore wood, made an opening And its mouth opened wide For a sickening happening Forecasts warned, a storm [Bridge] We were not prepared As evil performed Subtlety aired The room forgot the shape of air [Final Verse] A lionesque wind came to circle, to yowl The boards gave way beneath its hand It found the narrow place somehow And pulled the dark across the land [Outro] Forecasts warned, a storm We were not prepared No shelter held its form No quiet answered there

Verse 1] A lionesque wind Came to circle, to yowl To prey upon us in the end Into a small space, to prowl [Pre-Chorus] With the strength of its pride It tore wood, made an opening And its mouth opened wide For a sickening happening... [Chorus] A lionesque wind A lionesque wind It came for the door It came for the skin A lionesque wind A lionesque wind We heard it coming And we let it in [Verse 2] Forecasts warned, a storm We were not prepared As evil performed Subtlety aired [Pre-Chorus] With the strength of its pride It tore wood, made an opening And its mouth opened wide For a sickening happening... [Chorus] A lionesque wind A lionesque wind It came for the door It came for the skin A lionesque wind A lionesque wind We heard it coming And we let it in [Bridge] Now the chairs lie split Now the glass is cold What we called a fit Was a hunger in control [Final Chorus] A lionesque wind A lionesque wind It came for the door It came for the skin A lionesque wind A lionesque wind We heard it coming And we let it in
