Release the Lions Lyrics

Just in time to see the show
You’ve come to this deep concrete basement
People standing in a row
All eager to receive my blessing
As I fill my glass with wine
They raise their hands, that’s how they praise me
Innocent, they now will know
What faith looks like, they’ve come to test it

It’s so easy
Taste the wine I give you
You are thirsting, may your thirst be quenched tonight
It’s so easy
Taste the wine I give you
You are moaning in delight

Order gone, it’s an orgy
Pheromones filling the air
So excited, liberated
Under my unwinking stare
I command “release the lions”
And the secret doors come up
Raging beasts escape their cages
And begin their royal feast

Sacrificed
What an awful tragedy
Sacrificed
It’s the day you cease to be
Sacrificed

It’s so easy
Taste the wine I give you
You are thirsting, may your thirst be quenched tonight
It’s so easy
Taste the wine I give you
You are bleeding, it’s all right

Blood collected through the grating
Filtered and poured into bath
As a final stroke of my rite
I command to dim the light
Faithful servants, holding daggers
Cutting through each other’s chests
In this room now filled with corpses
I prepare to have my rest

Sacrificed
What an awful tragedy
Sacrificed
It’s the day you cease to be
Sacrificed
