Pop Evil - Waking Lions Lyrics






Is this better, tell me there's a better way
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna hide from the
Vultures above, serpents below
They wanna lay me to rest, but I won't go
Yeah

Is it better to die than live another day?
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna run from the
Scars held within, burning the skin
They wanna lay me to rest, but I won't go
Yeah, I won't go

I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
'Cause fear will never lead my way
I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
I will never be the same
Waking the lions in me
I'm waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me

Beneath the ash I'm dying 'til I'll rise again
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna stop till
I'll break down this cage, escape from these chains
You'll never silence my voice, no, I won't go
No, I won't go

I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
'Cause fear will never lead my way
I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
I will never be the same
Waking the lions in me
I'm waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me

For way too long
I slept inside the dark
But now I rise
It's time to make a mark
Waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me

I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
'Cause fear will never lead my way
I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
I will never be the same

I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
'Cause fear will never lead my way
I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
I will never be the same
Waking the lions in me
I'm waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me
Waking the lions in me
I'm waking the lions in me
I'm waking the lions in me

  35. S.... G....

    They are very very far from Lipstick on a mirror. Sad. I seen them as many times as I could on the east coast. 1st show Tesla at The Stone Pony. Was mesmerized by them, now sadly not so much. Will forever love Dave Grahs. Have some great photos with him ❤️🤗❤️

  45. V.... S....

    I took my niece to see them lastnight with sevendust and skillet her first show ever she recently tried to commit suicide and is going threw some ruff stuff. It was like all these bands were speaking to her with all there attention on mental health and letting people know it's ok to ask for help and to Express yourself through music. It's up to us as parents to help make sure they dont feel like that's there only option we've all been there talk to them make sure they understand there not ALONE!!!!

  46. J.... M....

    Let's go 7 million!

  71. N.... W....

    Man, I wish I would have heard of this band sooner. I just recently discovered them and I love their music!!

  72. D.... N....

    I liked this song a lot better before I saw the video, it just looks like a hair band and a thrash metal band had a love child.

  73. j.... ....

    We need to go back to 2017. When this shit came out. When Go to War by Nothing More came out. When Rx by TOADM came out. When rock was trending instead of the shit we have now. This was easily one of my favorite years for rock/metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

  74. T.... C....

    I'm not a big Pop Evil fan, what does shitt bangs! I really enjoy the powerful message of overcoming endeavors

  75. I.... O....

    That drummer is really good! U know (for a girl) Haha. Just kidding. No, she is good tho. :)

  76. e.... k....

    The lady drummer kicks ass

  77. J.... M....

    It's okay, I guee-eess!? Although my index finger simply cannot click on ''like''.
    Hey Haley.

    J.... M....

    It's ok just use your thumb

  78. R.... J....

    There's something about this song and it's the anthem of my new life

  79. A.... p....

    That beginning riff gives me power
    This song, this band...music is life!
    My girlfriend’s cat listened to this and roared at me

    A.... p....

    My cat hates them! When I play their music (which is everyday), she starts meowing really loud until I either turn them off, or I just ignore her to which she leaves the room. I guess like most cats she wants all the attention. Your comment made me lol so hard. Love it!

    A.... p....

    I meant the cat roaring part. This band is life!

  80. N.... B....

    Words cannot express how badass this song is. So fucking hard hitting and motivating!!

  81. T.... O....

    Great song! Woke the inner Lion in Khajiit! The world is mine!

  82. D.... H....

    Pop evil is the sickest rock band EVER I've been to every show they have put on in oklahoma the past 2 years held him up at rocklahoma 2018 and 2019 and still no picture or autograph heart breaking really

  84. T.... C....

    This is a jam.

  85. S.... V....
