The Beginning Song

Waltari


Island in the city, music in the air 
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there! 

I dressed up in a cloth of lion 
I wanted to avoid growing thin, so 
That I couldn't blame myself not running faster 

I took my courage, I felt so hungry 
And hunger is a greed that makes you achieve 
Something more than you are in now 

[CHORUS I:] 
I want my life, you'd better beware of my mind 
But you are here and this is a hungry lion dance 
I wanna hit and run and you'd better beware of my kind 
'coz you're bit green and I know well what I've come here to take 

I saw a big field 
I saw the moonshine 
I saw the black figures in horizon 
Don't you be afraid of me babe 
I'm faster than your fright 

You shiny angel, wearing crystals 
You will recognize the rebel without a pause 
Still I'll wait, on the final scene before the edge 

[CHORUS 2:] 
I want your love, you'd better beware of my life 
'coz you are near and this is a hungry lion dance 
I wanna hit and run without an easy way 
I'm hungry for you love and I really don't like to pass you 

Island in the city, music in the air 
Waiting for the feeling, and surprise: it's right there! 

[CHORUS 3:] 
I want your love you'd better beware of my mind 
'coz you're so green and I know well where I'm aiming to 
I wanna split and run without an easy way 
But still you are here and I really don't like to slip you through
