ApologetiX - Lions lyrics

Parody of "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band (Daniel 6) And Darius had lots of sneaky people giving him advice And they didn't like Daniel and that was that And they plotted to see him die They said "King Darius, let's make a short-standin' law now Here's what we'll do! So if anyone prays within the next 30 days To anyone other than you, we'll throw 'em to the Lions! Lions! In the den of lions! We're talking 'bout carnivorous great big wild lions Vicious golden cats -- Don't you feed the lions!" And Darius said "Anybody caught trespa**in' this new law I have signed Will be tossed in a pit with a stone on the top In a den full of hungry lions!" But the king just couldn't figure out It was Daniel they were tryin' to get But you know Daniel still prayed, even three times a day Till they hauled him in under arrest CHORUS "Hey you, Daniel can't you read? You disobeyed the law, now the lions are gonna feed! You can't change the laws of Persians and Medes! Even the king can't free you!" Darius said "Sianora Daniel, hope you make it through the night" Hey, hey, watcha gonna do? Hey, hey, watcha gonna do? And Darius went back to his palace and he fasted And tossed and he turned on his bed When they hauled away the stone at the end of the night He didn't have the stomach to check So he went to the edge of the cavern He said "Daniel! You down there with them lions?" He said "Thank you king for thinkin' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine!" CHORUS
