the Lions call to man
I saw a tear in the eye of the butterfly
Pain in the heart of the lions roar
I saw a tree in the forest crying
As birds walked across the floor
When the wolf howled at the moon
And nobody heard his call
His cry caught in the howling wind
And now a tear drop falls
Rain washed away the rainbows
Leaving crimson falls
Acid rain falls from the heavens
Scorching river banks and more
I feel the pain in the heart of the lion
and in the lions roar
I saw pain in the eye of the butterfly
As the Earth now start to crawl
