I heard His cry
In the darkness of the night
And deep inside myself I cried
For I knew that He was gone
The stately Lion had died
He had moved through the darkness
Once ruler of the night
He had said none could stand before him
But inside I just cried
For I knew deep in the darkness
That the stately Lion King had died
His knowledge knew no bounds
He said his courage knew no fear
But in the darkness he did lie
And in the depth of it
I cried
For in the empty darkness
My dear friend
The Lion king had died.
