Not Anymore

 There's a feeling inide that I cannot describe <br> There's a song in my head that I did not devise <br> There's a lion inside that won't simmer down <br> There's a heart in my chest that's beating with sound <br> Untamed, weary, beautiful, and hunted, my soul will cry out <br> Like fire, the flames are dancing about <br> <br> It's my turn to hunt, so listen up now <br> This is my world, <br> And this is my sound <br> He gave me a name and He called me His own <br> How is the Slaughtered alive on the throne? <br> He brought me to life with a song in my soul <br> Why is there screaming inside of my bones? <br> My house, divided, that I tried to pull down with my own hands <br> Now stands unified... I don't understand <br> I thought silence would be my song, if any <br> But I was wrong, <br> As were many <br> <br> I can't contain the Lion that roars and I won't try... <br> No, not anymore
