The Crane Wives - Show Your Fangs Lyrics

The Crane Wives Lyrics

"Show Your Fangs"

A mountain song chills my warm skin
A ballad of a lonesome peak
I curse the ground, shed my old sins
For weight will only make me weak

I beg the stars to marry me
For they are my guide
But daylight comes to claim their beauty
As fury paints the wasteland wide

I'm not your highness
A damsel left helpless by fright
I am a lioness
Fierce as I walk through the night

A canvas, my makeshift shelter
A man would never know his bride
An angry sun before could melt her
But calloused now she will survive

With malice, beasts will show their fangs
They're in for a surprise
Bravely I will wield my weapon
I made from fangs of those that died

I'm not your highness
A damsel left helpless by fright
I am a lioness
Fierce as I walk through the night

I'm not your highness
A damsel left helpless by fright
I am a lioness
Fierce as I walk through the night
