The Lamb Becomes The Lion
From Drought to Roar: Unveiling Nature's Transformative Dance
Lyrics
The eastern wind was blowing
The wind from the east is blowing.
All across the plains
Across the plains, suggesting a widespread impact.
Into the Summer land
Heading into the Summer land, a season of change and growth.
You could feel the change a-comin'
Sense of impending change in nature.
In the sigh of trees
Notices the change through the sounds of trees.
And rumblings in the land
Rumblings in the land, indicating unrest or transformation.
And the trusted souls
The reliable individuals who cultivated the land.
That tilled the earth for years
They claim abundance in crops.
Swore that they never lacked for grain
Expressing contentment with their agricultural yield.
But for months and months on end
Despite this, for several months, there is no rain.
The fields lay dry
The fields remain dry, highlighting a drought.
Not one drop of rain
No precipitation at all.
Mother, can't you hear me?
The persona addresses their mother, possibly seeking support.
There's a storm outside
A storm is happening, symbolizing turmoil or crisis.
It's breaking down my door
The storm is threatening and has reached their doorstep.
The well's run dry
The well, a source of sustenance, has run dry.
The beasts have flown
The animals have left, possibly due to adverse conditions.
The crops lie in the fields
Crops are in the fields but are not growing.
But grow no more
The agricultural efforts are failing.
And the ties that bind
Connections and commitments are weakening.
Are loose and frayed
Ties are both loose and frayed, suggesting instability.
Yet tight and taught
Contradictory feelings of tightness and tension.
Around my neck and skin
A metaphorical description of personal struggles.
And the ground on which I walk
The ground is dry and dusty.
Is raising dust
The environment is harsh and unyielding.
And merry hell
A chaotic and disruptive force, "merry hell," is present.
Comes dancing in
Challenges or hardships are prevalent.
They say a strange beast walks abroad
A mysterious creature is roaming.
Through wood and vale
It moves through various terrains.
Encircling field and pen
Surrounding fields and enclosures.
Preying on the fearful minds
Feeding on the anxieties of those without skepticism.
Who have no cause to doubt
People who unquestionably trust their own thoughts.
Their own thinking
Believers in certain ideologies.
While in hallowed halls
In esteemed places, contemplation occurs.
The faithful sit
Faithful individuals ponder on an unyielding authority.
And ruminate upon a rod of iron
Reflecting on an inflexible rule or doctrine.
As the watchman at the gate
A gatekeeper discerns a significant transformation from a distance.
Discerns from far
Observing a profound change.
The lamb become a lion
A symbolic shift from innocence (lamb) to strength (lion).
The lamb become a lion
Repetition emphasizes the transformation.
The lamb become a lion
The lamb become a lion
