I Was the Lion

I was the Lion you do not remember
The light in the dark
And the life of the ember

I was the Lion who kept you from death
When the knight without name
Sacrificed his last breath

I was the Lion who guarded your sleep
And guided your path
Like a shepherd his sheep

I was the Lion who frightened you on
To give to your people
The hope of a dawn

I was the Lion you do not remember
The light in the dark
And the life of the ember
