lyrics

I fell through the lava tube
And I didn't die
Turned my back to the ocean
Was swept away and came ashore
I felt the sting of Pele's breath
And thought that I might meet my death
But the winds brought me up again

I fell into the arms of
The ones who called me brother
They took me on a ride that
Nearly drove me into a dead end
And split their skin to show the serpent deep within
And with a smile
They threw me to the lions

CHORUS

But when I rise
I'll come back leading the pack


So when the storm is over
There is a hole in the sky
And sunlight rains upon you
For the struggle you survived
For all the pain, I can't explain
The wounds are toughened skin and then
They look like tattooed glory

One direction for my thoughts,
Another for the fire
A third the ocean wild
And last the earthen briar
The mighty ones who stand around me
No matter where I go
If I find myself with lions

CHORUS
