ApologetiX - Lions

Copied!

{Verse 1}
King Darius had lots of very sneaky people feedin' him bad advice
And they worked for Daniel but other than that
They were planning to trap him with lies
They said, "If you'd like to sign a short-standing law now, oh, king, please do
So the people, they'll have to pray to your majesty
Or be served as cat food
Thrown to the ...

{Chorus}
Lions! Lions! In the den of lions!
Talking 'bout the lean and mean, great big wild kind
Ruthless cold cruel cats
Don't you feed the lions!"

{Verse 2}
And Darius said "Anybody caught trespassin' this new law I have signed
In the month up ahead, well, I'm tellin' you now
Hey! We'll give you to the lions!"
But he never sensed or figured out what the new legislation did
Till guards appeared and told him to his face:
"Daniel's some lion's dinner!"

{Chorus}
Lions! Lions! In the den of lions!
Talking 'bout the lean and mean, great big wild kind
Ruthless cold cruel cats
Don't you feed the lions!

{Bridge}
Well, hey you, Daniel can't you read?
We caught you havin' church -- it's time for penalties
I can't even watch those huge cats eat
You ain't supposed to pray here

Darius said, "I got to tell ya, Daniel, it's hard to let you die."

{LEAD}

{Verse 3}
And Darius went to bed but he hoped the Lord would come in
And help out his friend
And then he fasted while he waited till the end of the night
But didn't have the stomach to check
So he called to him, "Dan, did you make it?
Could you maybe give some little sign?"
He said, "Thank you, king, for thinkin' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine!"
Woaah!

{Chorus}
Lions! Lions! In the den of lions!
Talking 'bout the lean and mean, great big wild kind
Ruthless cold cruel cats
Don't you feed the lions!

{Outro}
Lions! Lions! In the den of lions!
Lions!
Lions! Lions!

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Lions" by ApologetiX tells the biblical story of Daniel and the lions' den in a humorous and catchy way. The song describes how King Darius's advisors plotted against Daniel, leading to his eventual punishment of being thrown into a den of hungry lions. Despite the dire situation, Daniel's faith in God ultimately saves him as he emerges unscathed from the den. The song's chorus emphasizes the ferocity of the lions and the importance of not feeding them. With its lively rock sound and clever lyrics, "Lions" is a fun and entertaining retelling of a well-known tale of faith and divine intervention.

Biography

edit bio

ApologetiX (That Christian Parody Band), located in Pittsburgh, PA, was founded in 1992. In the song “We’re in a Parody Band”, ApologetiX refers to itself as a cross between “Weird Al” Yankovic and Billy Graham.

ApologetiX rewrites secular songs with Christian lyrics. They get their unusual name from the word “apologetics”, which means “the defense of the Christian faith.” It is based on the Greek word for defense, “apologia”. The word is used in 1 Peter 3:15, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer (defense or "apologia”) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…“ (NIV). Their logo, a triquetra, is an ancient symbol of the Holy Trinity.
