There’s a fire in my belly A hot, crawling beast That’s been awake For a thousand years Coiling its way Under my ribs He waits Poised Ready to attack.
There’s fertile soil Deep inside The heart of the Furnace And from that place of power Things can happen I can make it Or It can shape itself But things will happen Just the same.
ROAR!
Watch out! I have a rage That can destroy The world A force so strong It can destroy you And me and for all you know The universe too.
Don’t be fooled by The pink I wear…
ROAR!
This sound I make Can raise myself high To float on Icy seas without so much As a sneeze At the indifference That surrounds me.
That surrounds you.
That is killing all of us.
RAGE ON!
Don’t you know who This snake charmer is? This artist This poet This lover of loves This keeper of secrets This lonely thief And murderer?
RAGE ON!
Don’t you know What you possess? This power Is your own precious gift Why should you abuse it Or give it away Especially to Those who Don’t appreciate it.
ROAR!
Make your sound Your mighty “YOP” Let it well up Inside of you Let it pour out Of your throat And fill the world Make your sound in ways that you don’t expect Something new and exciting Is waiting for you In the dark woods Something you can make Something you can contain. Something that just Might flicker inside your eyelids And make you feel Alive.
There is a oneness That is waiting if you’ll Just be brave enough To look into The heart of the Dragon The One who Has been holding All of your pain.
If you can cry Your own crocodile tears And swim, like Alice, In the sea of duality.
Sleeping woman Open your eyes And see what has Been directing your course Steering your sails Keeping you safe Sleeping woman Look up And embrace This Beast This belching creature This shadow monster This One Who loves you So much.
Open your arms And caress the skeletons Of your own deliciousness And when you do When you finally do, roar.
