Johan S. Wieth - Lion's Den lyrics

They bathe their limbs in transient guard (They) take refuge in commune With tooth and nail This great ordeal Is placed on square rigging Like shining a candle at the sun Not much harm will be done Like drinking a wall It's unlikely Yet my stomach is weighed down by bricks An animal An animal Called to the witness stand A test of faith against all odds On the book it lays it's hand I solemnly swear to tell the truth And nothing but the truth So help me god, as I stand aloof And thorns are nagging at my neck In the lion's den Do they still bite after you? Do they still chase after you? Come on in In that lion's den They never cared too much for you They never took great care of you Come on in Just come on in Come on in Come on in Blockheads and fools have it better than you It's easy to forget that While they fumble around For a bona fide life Their rents are payed by family members Like shining a candle at the sun Not much harm will be done Like drinking a wall It's unlikely Yet my stomach is weighed down by bricks In the lion's den Do they still bite after you? Do they still chase after you? Come on in In that lion's den They never cared too much for you They never took great care of you Come on in Just come on in Come on in Come on in
