The Lion And The Lamb Lyrics

The lamb heads into the coliseum

The lascivious lion lies in wait

Parasites with their mouths open

Can't wait to watch, they gravitate

Such an insatiable appetite

All the frightened friends fade away

Leaving the lamb isolated

Another tribute, to be slayed

Hurt people hurt people

That's what they do

Hurt people hurt people

Ya break the cycle

Or the cycle breaks you

The lamb slinks into the slaughter

While the crowd of cowards cling to view

All of them watching with reluctant eyes

Cheering on the abuse

Is it fear of retribution

That's made the bitter beast become unstained

Maybe a warped sense of right and wrong

That keeps the masses entertained

Hurt people hurt people

That's what they do

Hurt people hurt people

Ya break the cycle

Or the cycle breaks you

The lion just can't comprehend

He's a pitiful, pathetic prey

Manifesting his own abuse

Onto the lamb's grim reality

This isn't the way that it had to be

Now the hateful hunter hangs his head

Knowing what is awaiting him

Reality, with no defense

Hurt people hurt people

That's what they do

Hurt people hurt people

Break the cycle

Hurt people hurt people

That's what they do

Hurt people hurt people

Ya break the cycle

Or the cycle breaks you
