Lyrics By C7 * The Lion Within * Claws in my mind Teeth at my throat Breath on my neck Hands in the choke Voices won’t sleep Scratch at the door Say I’m the sickness Say I’m the war Mirrors distort Twist what I see Turn every flaw Into the beast in me But You stepped in the dungeon Eyes of blazin’ fire Spoke one word of thunder Every demon scatters You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Roarin’ over all my fear The Lion within is alive in me You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Graves give way when You say “Rise again” Hell bows down to the Lion within Scars on my skin Stories of war Nightmares that swarm Under every door Every ugly monster I thought was always me Falls at Your word Drops to a tremblin’ knee But You walked into my nightmare Crown of blazin’ glory Ripped the keys from death Now I’m standin’ on its neck You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Roarin’ over all my fear The Lion within is alive in me You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Graves give way when You say “Rise again” Hell bows down to the Lion within You didn’t argue You didn’t defend You just spoke And the lie hit its end I felt it rise Under my skin Felt the roar from The Lion within You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Roarin’ over all my fear The Lion within is alive in me You thought you made a monster outta me But what rose inside was Christ the King of Kings Graves give way when You say “Rise again” Hell bows down to the Lion within © 2026 C7Creations.
