A Lion Born to a Coward

I'm a lion born to a coward,
the harbinger sent to devour
I'm the snake who grew his wings,
the beast you can't defeat
I've got a mouth for cannon
My primal instincts cry out to me
With forces underneath,
I live with honor by any means

And I'm not perfect because I'm just a man
And I know I'm not perfect, but I understand

I understand that soft winds push no sail,
calm waters have no thrill
so, I embrace the ferocious sea
I take what life throws at me
I swim with the monsters to be rebirthed in the waters
My heart of compassion, pumping blood full of rage
This is who I am!

This life I live is something of beautiful pain
This is who I am
This life I live has so much more meaning because
I know myself

I know myself
Lessons learned when I lost my sails
Old scars to tell a tale of moving forward
like clouds in the stormy sky
Never backwards
If this ship goes down, I'll ride

This is who I am, and I don't give a fuck
I don't give a fuck...
If this ship goes down, I'll ride the lightning 'til I reach shore
I'll ride the lightning 'til I reach shore
