This Lion's Den
Listen hard and still your breath Can hear the beating of a butterfly's wings Or is that your heart just racing in your breast As the morning air greets you with the smell of death Were these the things all worth fighting for A twisted cross, this piece of dirt, a shabby uniform You were the hero in a madman's dream But just a boy barely weaned is what this mother sees [Vocal improv: "Aha"] (3 times) You can call Daniel But this lion's den won't spare you You can beg Jesus But it won't do you no good It's he who begs you To lay it down To lay it all down To lay it down Your father served in the one before You should've listened as he begged you to flee "Momma, nothin' changes, boys wil be boys, what was that song you used to sing to me?" [Vocal improv: "Aha"] (3 times) You can call Daniel But this lion's den won't spare you You can beg Jesus But it won't do you no good It's he who begs you To lay it down To lay it all down To lay it down...
