ROAR
Passion crying out
Longing to be expressed
Fly fly fly, into the fire
The fire of wisdom
ROAR
Of the lion, and of the grieving heart
Off the ground, ascending higher
Grounded to earth by civilization
Contain, contain, contain, that savagry
The savagry that unites us
ROAR
For the lion is majestic, we are not
Descending, humanity is
For evolution made us ignorent
Ignore ignore ignore, the commands of society
The life of a lion can teach 10,000 men
ROAR
Passion crying out
Longing to be expressed
Fly fly fly, into the fire
The fire of wisdom
ROAR
For man can learn from the roaring lion...
...The Lion of Ireland
