The Lion and the Lamb [Verse 1] In the tall grass where the old laws broke, Sun spills gold across your throat. Teeth that tore the night apart Now graze the pulse beneath my heart. You used to hunt the trembling stars, I used to flee the shape you are. But heaven cracked and calendars burned— And here we lie, no longer concerned. [Pre-chorus] Fur against wool, claw against skin, The war drums quiet… let the sin begin. [Chorus] Lion and lamb tangled in the afterglow, World turned soft where the red rivers used to flow. Bite me slow like you mean forever, I’ll tremble sweet like I’m scared… but I’m not scared. Lay me open in this new strange weather— Lion and lamb, we devour each other. [Verse 2] Your mane smells like smoke and Eden rain, My fleece still carries the shiver of pain. But pain’s just memory wearing thin lace now, Every scar’s an invitation on your face now. Paws press hips, hooves hook round your waist, We rewrite Genesis in the sweetest taste. No shepherd’s staff, no final roar— Just this hush… and the heat… and more. [Pre-chorus] Predator purrs, prey learns to plead, Both of us blooming from the same need. [Chorus] Lion and lamb tangled in the afterglow, World turned soft where the red rivers used to flow. Bite me slow like you mean forever, I’ll tremble sweet like I’m scared… but I’m not scared. Lay me open in this new strange weather— Lion and lamb, we devour each other. [Bridge] They said the end would come with fire… They never said it’d come with desire. Your tongue finds the place I used to hide, I arch into the king who once made me run and cry. No crowns, no thrones, no prophecy to keep— Just your heavy breath… and mine… going deep. [Final Chorus] Lion and lamb drowning in the afterglow, Whole damn cosmos watching how the wild ones go. Mark me deep like the story’s never over, I’ll break for you soft… again… and over. In this velvet ruin, this beautiful crime— Lion and lamb… one heartbeat… one spine. [Outro] World remade… And we’re still here… Still taking turns… Still eating heaven… One slow bite at a time.
