there are no lions of convenience
I don't know why the pain of this world must be so
think of all that have suffered throughout all history
you are kindred of billions of bound souls
consigned to space and time
throughout,
all have sought their way
all have fought their way
all have lost their way
yet all goes on
the lions have won the field
and now the pastures are docile with abundance
and the danger transformed within
no longer are they needed to protect but are
now vilified for their strength
they have been displaced
replaced by those who've spurred them on
to do their bidding and now that day is won
they are of no use
no greater sadness and no greater loss
is there than that of purpose
the age of honor has no place in convenience
think of all that have suffered throughout all history
you are kindred of billions of bound souls
consigned to space and time
throughout,
all have sought their way
all have fought their way
all have lost their way
yet all goes on
the lions have won the field
and now the pastures are docile with abundance
and the danger transformed within
no longer are they needed to protect but are
now vilified for their strength
they have been displaced
replaced by those who've spurred them on
to do their bidding and now that day is won
they are of no use
no greater sadness and no greater loss
is there than that of purpose
the age of honor has no place in convenience
