My Stripes

Oh I've been contained
But there's a power to be set free
My love
Won't you just look in my eyes
See what lies behind the mirror of
A modern life don't suit my
My stripes

I've been waiting laying dormant for
Of this chain to let me go
In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes
My spirit used to tiptoe, oh

Look in my eyes
See what lies behind the mirror you
Look in my eyes
See a light that shines a different hue
In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes

You look in my eye
What do you find but a stranger staying there
Breathing, more alive
Than any life without danger laying there
You look in my eye
What do you find but a stranger staying there
Breathing, I'm more alive
And by your look you see danger laying here

You might be the first man down
You didn't see a queen, but you do right now
And I'm free to wear my heathen crown
I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long
You might be the first man down
You didn't see a queen, but you do right now
And I'm free to wear my heathen crown
I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long

Waiting so long
In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes
