Phaedra Lyrics by Valiant Hearts

Yonder

2022

[Intro]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-h)
[Chorus 1]
What is a lion without its pride?
An empty shell that's cast aside
In this moment we decide
How to spend the rest of our lives
What's a lion without its pride?
An empty shell just left behind
[Verse 1]
Every day I see a hundred faces
Some unhappy and some complacent
Some the same and some are different
All I know is that I can't change a thing
What's done is done and there's no resetting
It's all a game to you and there's no winning
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wipe that look off your face
It's an utter disgrace
Enjoy the negative space when I'm gone
This is your swan song
[Chorus 2]
What is a lion without its pride?
An empty shell that's cast aside
In this moment we decide
How to spend the rest of our lives
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
What's a lion without its pride?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Nothing, so who's next in line?
[Verse 2]
I see plains all withered and dried
No more glades, no more ice
I fear flames, famine, and strife
Will plague me all through my life
Now our bodies are poisoned senseless
From our roots up into our branches
Curse these manmade advances
Killing habitats to have a holiday
While they just look up to the stars and pray
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where will we go
If we destroy our home?
Where will we go?
Into the great unknown
[Chorus 3]
What is a lion without its pride?
An empty shell that's cast aside
This is the moment we decide
How we spend the rest of our lives
What is a lion without its pride?
An empty shell that's cast aside
In this moment we decide
How to spend the rest of our lives
[Outro]
(How) How to spend the rest of our lives
(How) How to spend the rest of our lives
