Newborn

Strange beasts are weeping

But the newborn is sleeping tonight

Innocence is silently breathing

All the demons are taking flight

Spinning in the room all around her

She's the eye in the calm of the storm

All the legions that surround her

Came together on the day she was born

You can feel the fear

Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun

All the champions of disaster are on the run…

Now the darkness is slowly receding

Like a wild flower she has grown

She's a prize for the tribe to believe in

Oh the devotees won't leave her alone

Sometimes in the twilight she cries for hours

Trading blows with the worst and the best

She's fighting for a limitless future

Yeah she won't stand for anything less

You can feel the fear

Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun

Every beast of the earth is still feeding

And we're still hangin' on.

Now we're counting the ways to support her

While we wait for the anguish to mend

From the well of chaos that brought her

We will drink all the way to the end.

You can feel the fear

Shrinkin' like a shadow in the midday sun

Weapons lie battered and broken

All the wars have been won

Ancient enemies were drawn together

On the day she was born

She's still fighting to keep her eyes open

She's still hangin' on
