mane stripped lion

[00:01.40] Eric, look at me
[00:02.48]
[00:21.39] In all due time
[00:26.96] I'll repair my mind
[00:32.84] And where souls lay soaked in tears
[00:37.29] I will rescue mine, I'll wring it dry
[00:43.29] I will wrap in cloth and stifle my cries
[00:50.53] I am the mane stripped lion
[00:56.80] I am the wingless fly
[01:02.46] And I've been birthed to die, but I remain alive
[01:08.59] And it's a mystery why
[01:14.48] The mountains bounce my cries
[01:20.49] Through the Nicholson skies
[01:26.14] Where hopefully Heaven hears
[01:29.40] And I am granted bliss in trade for all my plights
[01:37.91] I met a man here in town
[01:41.19] He said, "You only frown"
[01:44.21] In breaks of wearing a smile
[01:49.92] And all this walkin' 'round
[01:52.90] It's had him up to his brow
[01:55.83] In thought forms all so vile
[02:01.15] He knows he stands alone in his way
[02:05.70] And worst of all, he thinks it of fate
[02:09.22] He wears the friendliest face
[02:12.12] On top a frame made of hate
[02:15.05] In hopes of sunnier days
[02:17.92] He thinks of clouds hung grey
[02:21.16] And blames faith
[02:24.00] He cries and says
[02:25.49] I am the mane stripped lion
[02:31.46] I am the wingless fly
[02:37.28] And I've been birthed to die, but I remain alive
[02:43.39] And it's a mystery why
[02:49.25] The mountains bounce my cries
[02:55.34] Through the Nicholson skies
[03:00.84] Where hopefully Heaven hears
[03:04.34] And I am granted bliss in trade for all my plights
[03:14.64] In trade for all my plights
[03:19.38] Through the Nicholson skies
[03:24.74] Where hopefully Heaven hears
[03:28.11] I am granted bliss in trade for all my plights
[03:33.27]
