about

A song about terrorism.

lyrics

When the lions come down from the mountain,
When the lions come down from the mountain,
You better be prepared.
They'll be clawing at their bibles and screaming for blood
And swearing to their God by the strands of his dried, red hair

A lion came to me in my dreams,
Looked me dead in the eyes and did not make a sound
And I bolted up in a cold sweat before his paws left the ground.


When the lions come down from the mountain,
When the lions come down from the mountain,
What are you gonna do?
They'll be gunnin' for the trans girls and Muslims and queers,
And long before you can spot them, they'll come for you, too

I dreamt that white men came to me in my sleep
They said, "Hey, you fuckin' faggot, we're bringin' out the dead"
And they shot me and everyone that I loved right through the goddamn head.


Do you know what fear really means?
Does it linger over your head every single day?
Could you look a lion straight in the teeth, eh?
Do you really have what it takes?
And what would you say?


When the lions come down from the mountain,
When the lions come down from the mountain,
Where are you gonna go?
They won't rest until they get the world that they want
And that would be a world without most of us, you know.


I don't know about you,
But I'll stay right here 'cuz I've got something to prove
I'll stand my ground and show these feral motherfuckers
They'll never make me move.


So when the lions come down from the mountain,
When the lions come down from the mountain,
Be there.
