Lion Of Symmetry Lyrics - Tony Banks

The stars ignite as the sun sets 

And disappears in a river of dancing molten gold 

In the moon rise the lion steps out tonight 

No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again 

No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains 

The office walls are closing in 

As the telex machines perversely sing ignored 

You're hypnotised and the lion roars within 

No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again 

No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains 

Why are we here? not just to live and breathe 

I cannot sleep, I need the beast 

I need some action, I need destruction 

I'll return to the wild, I'll return to the child I said 

No sense of emotion adrift in the ocean 

Here we are knee-deep in stars, knee-deep in stars

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

City nights caressed in a shroud 

All is quiet and the silence is tentatively loud 

You kiss the streets as you crawl on your hands and feet 

No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again 

No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains 

Why are we here? not just to live and breathe 

I cannot sleep, I need the beast 

I need some action, I need destruction 

I'll return to the wild, I'll return to the child I said 

No sense of emotion adrift in the ocean 

Here we are knee-deep in stars, knee-deep in stars

Moving in the darkness 

Phosphorus eyes, jungle pride 

A glisten of madness, a wave of sadness 

The lion never sleeps, he's never at peace 

He stalks so boldly, so nervous, so coldly 

Vicious serenity, perverse intensity 

Head bowed stretched proudly, embrace the earth 

Same blood, same soul, same breath, same goal 

The office walls are closing in, feel the sensation 

Telex machines perversely sing raw communication 

And you're hypnotised, a transformation 

The lion steps out tonight 

And you kiss the damp streets with ease 

As you crawl on your hands and feet 

Naked is the beast and the beast is forever free 

You are the lion, you are the lion of symmetry 

Golden warrior savage, savage creature 

You are the lion, you are the lion of symmetry 

No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again 

No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains...
