A/N: It won't let me make breaks between each stanza, so I had to put dashes. Sorry.

Control the caged lions beneath the sky

Keep the emotions stirring at bay

Let your eyes and motions lie
--

Passion finds bounds by and by

Hands disentangled amid the fray

Control the caged lions beneath the sky
--

Forget eternity before we even try

Betrayal finds the perfect prey

Let your eyes and motions lie
--

A woman looks and stays a sigh

She hopes for an end to this monotonous play

Control the caged lions beneath the sky
--

Parting words and a soft goodbye

Pursed lips hiding what they want to say

Let your eyes and motions lie
--

Heed these words, hear their cry

A performance will keep the pain away

Control the caged lions beneath the sky

Let your eyes and motions lie.
