Hunters & Collectors - Newborn lyrics

Strange beasts are weeping But the newborn is sleeping tonight Innocence is silently breathing All the demons are taking flight Spinning in the room all around her She's the eye in the calm of the storm All the legions that surround her Came together on the day she was born You can feel the fear Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun All the champions of disaster are on the run… Now the darkness is slowly receding Like a wild flower she has grown She's a prize for the tribe to believe in Oh the devotees won't leave her alone Sometimes in the twilight she cries for hours Trading blows with the worst and the best She's fighting for a limitless future Yeah she won't stand for anything less You can feel the fear Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun Every beast of the earth is still feeding And we're still hangin' on. Now we're counting the ways to support her While we wait for the anguish to mend From the well of chaos that brought her We will drink all the way to the end. You can feel the fear Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun Weapons lie battered and broken All the wars have been won Ancient enemies were drawn together On the day she was born She's still fighting to keep her eyes open She's still hangin' on
