Once a poem written long ago when I was writing down the story of my character, "The Lioness" is a personal metaphor for the sexual power of woman, and was written to appeal romantically to the personified female libido. There's a little animal in all of us, isn't there? So I figured why not serenade the beast inside for once. Ah, seduction at its finest. The hunt begins.

Of all places, a furry website should be the perfect place to share this!

For the curious, that's my warbling voice desperately trying to stay in key, and me on the saxophone. (Old Eb Alto) Everything else I did in Garage Band. Oh yeah, it's a really long 8:12 Minutes long. It's a very slow tempo'd song, you see. I got the idea to making this into a song a few years ago after watching that David Lynch "Fire Walk with Me." movie. The slow, loud bass in the bar scene caught my attention. For me, this isn't my normal style of music, which is more along the lines of electronic/techno... which is probably why it was so much fun to do. ;)

Just in case you can't tell what the hell I'm saying, here's the lyrics:


Lyrics finalized March 12th, 2007

=========================================================================

She sprawls with liquid spine caressing the curves that are her perch.

Lithely stretching sinew and tendons; her limbs rippling jewelry.

Her teeth shimmer with the smile of ivory, which age can't besmirch.

Eyes like amber pierce you with their feline electricity.

She captivates, bleeds, and devours as savagely possible.


****
(Chorus)

Lioness, how do you prowl from where you you pose?

Lioness, how can you kill not spilling blood?

How is it that I'm under your spell, when you can't even tell

That you have been conjuring it over me all this time?

Why do I dare to approach you?

(/chorus)


Your smile encroached around my neck; bit me unaware,

Your Voice has serrated my skin, and penetrated my veins.

The adrenaline you enjoy to taste-- in my blood it's there.

Your tail can't help but twitch with excitement-- Pondering your aims.

With nary an effort, I have succummbed to your entrapment.


****
(Chorus)

Lioness, how does one stalk without a step?

Lioness, how can you kill without knowing?

How is it I am sacrificed to a goddess before me

When I wasn't a believer, until the hereafter be?

Is there no way to over power you?

(/chorus)


Certainly, your touch is barbed with desire, and lust marks the beat.

The pulsing fire that's surrounding you is water for the soul;

Such sensual perfume only occurs in passionate heat.

Your oasis with its password makes me thirst out of control.

What is your name? As if it matters, as it I could touch you?


****
(Chorus)

You're the Lioness-- Paradox Lover.

You don't notice I'd been watching you forever?

Lioness, the gods envy how you punish me, by licking the wounds you have made.

You have stolen my will of leaving this place by just simply lying in the shade.

Is there no escape from your snare?

(/Chorus)


Lioness...



Thanks for reading all of this, and thanks for listening!
