Lion's Tooth
(Requiem for the Dandelion, Prince of Weeds)
The Hearless Man works his garden hard
Growing things -
Colours flowing from the heart -
His painted canvas comes alive -
Then we see
(In his frozen hands, a scythe
To slash
The ground
Beneath him).
Refrain:
Wasn't ever meant to be at all this way
Need to see those yellow petals night and day
Silver seeds should spiral through the air in play
Didn't think I'd live to see it all in grey
Didn't think I'd live to see it all in grey
The Hearless Man works his garden hard
Growing things -
Cold steel cuts through yellow flower
Using knife to wield his power -
Flower screams
(Connection with the Source is slashed
Beauty fades
Beneath
A broken word)
Refrain
The Hearless Man works his garden hard
Growing things
Then he'll tear them all apart
Cannot hear all the desperate cries
When he's in
(The field he's drawn and owns with pride
Untouched
By all
He sees there)
Refrain
The Hearless Man works his garden hard
Growing things
Yet he never heard them start
