A Legendary Rock Opera

In the grand tradition of myth and melody, The Untamely Lion roars to life as an epic tale of captivity, courage, and the reclamation of soul. Told through soaring guitars, symphonic undertones, and raw, untethered vocals, this rock opera follows a lion not of the savannah, but of spirit—a being born for majesty, caught in chains not just of iron, but of illusion.

Scene I – The Caged Soul introduces our lion in sorrowful solitude, trapped behind bars both physical and symbolic. Misunderstood by the world around him, his longing is palpable, his roar silenced. But even in silence, the heart remembers.

Scene II – In Dreams lifts the veil of reality and ushers us into a dreamscape of magic and memory. Enchanted by faeries, gnomes, and whispering dryads, the lion reclaims forgotten joy. Here, time dissolves, and the echo of something greater stirs.

Scene III – The Awakening Doubt cracks the illusion. The dream fades. Emptiness returns—but now with questions: Was it real? Did they ever know him? Doubt gnaws at hope, and shadows gather once more.

Scene IV – The Mouse and the Mirror brings wisdom in small form. A clever mouse—part guide, part jester—shows the lion that the truest prison lies in belief. Through riddles and reflections, the lion glimpses his power. The mirror never lies, but it asks if you dare.

Scene V – The Shattering is the eruption. With a soul forged in silence and eyes turned to the skies, the lion unleashes a roar that shatters more than bars. It breaks paradigms. A surge of light, a crown of flame—he is no longer what they said he was.

Scene VI – The Wandering King sees him stride through wild lands untamed. Mountains rise, fires burn, winds howl—and the lion grows with every trial. These aren't battles—they're blessings. Each step reclaims his name, his myth, his purpose.

Scene VII – The Divine Union is the sacred meeting. She is not salvation—she is recognition. Sovereign in her own right, the lioness stands equal, her fire matching his. No taming. No chains. Just a mirrored strength and a love that neither weakens nor binds.

Scene VIII – The Kingdom Rises builds to crescendo. No longer a prisoner, the lion has become legend—not alone, but unified. Their kingdom is not of stone, but of soul—rising in balance, crowned by sunrise. It is a place where love rules boldly, and freedom is law.

The Untamely Lion

[ L y r i c s ]

I've been told.
Only love can hurt like this.
But is it true?
Because when I look into your eyes, you have my heart
Whenever you are near, I feel that spark.
 
When I dream, it involves you.
I can't stop because I want you.
Everything I say and do.
It all revolves around you.
 
So, what do I do when it all starts hurting?
What do I do when it gets to my head?
How do I stop being broken into pieces?
When will all the memories cut straight to my head?
 
What do I do when I cry to sleep and
How do I know if it's all too much?
What can I do to make all these tears dry?
Or will it never stop?
 
I've been told.
Only love will hurt like this.
I think it's true.
I can't look into your eyes without mine.
Start to break down; it's just not right.
 
When I'm awake, I think about you.
I can't stop because I need you.
Everything I say and do.
It all comes back to you.
 
So, what do I do when it all starts hurting?
What will I do when it gets in my head?
When will I stop being broken into pieces?
Will all these memories get out of my head?
 
What do I do when I cry to sleep and
Now I know it was all too much.
I just want to make all these tears dry.
I just want it to stop.


Now I'm broken into pieces.
Thinking about you.
I wish you were next to me.
That's how it's supposed to be. Oh.
 
Now I'm falling apart and 
There's nothing I can do.
But I'll try to hold on to the dreams of me and you.
Even though it´ll never be true.
(Even though it´ll never be true.)

You're my relief whenever I'm hurting.
You're the one, always in my head.
And I'm not broken when I have you.
All these memories are stuck in my head.

Pieces

[ L y r i c s ]

Can't see the dark in your eyes
Lost in your love I won't deny
I feel weak under your spell
In this chaos we both dwell

Loving the hurt you provide
I need the lows like a high
Losing myself while craving you
In this dance that we both do

I'd let it all go for you
Caught in the web you weave
It's true
Can't see the evil in your touch
I'm addicted to your love

Can't escape this endless maze
In this fire that we've made
I surrender to your hold
Feeling powerless and cold

I'd let it all go for you
Caught in the web you weave
It's true
Can't see the evil in your touch
I'm addicted to your love

In love with the hurt you provide
I need the lows like a high
Losing myself while craving you
In this dance that we both do

I'll let it all go for you
Caught in the web you weave
It's true
Can't see the evil in your touch
I'm addicted to your love

Pain in your love and tears that rain
Craving the hurt you leave again
Stuck in desperance for your touch
Left begging for your love

Addicted

[ L y r i c s ]

You pulled me close, you said you cared,
Whispered sweet words, like you would always be there.
I gave you my heart, gave you my soul,
Thought you’d be the one to make me whole.
But the silence now, it cuts so deep,
I lay awake, while I try to sleep,
You promised love, but it was all a lie,
Now I’m just asking myself… why?

You made me feel like I was the one,
But now you’re gone, like a setting sun.
You loved me ‘til you found someone new,
Left me broken, and I’m still stuck on you.

I cried myself to sleep again last night,
You said you loved me, but you ran from the fight,
You tore me apart with every word you said,
Left me in pieces, now I’m drowning in red.
You kissed me, adored me, said I was your dream,
But I was just a chapter in your shattered scheme.
You left me behind—like I was never real,
But I’ll never forget how you made me feel.

I gave you trust, I gave you grace,
But you disappeared, you vanished without a trace,
You said you'd never leave, but you walked away,
Chasing other girls, while I’m in disarray.
Now I’m staring at the scars you left behind,
Wondering how you could be so blind,
To think I’d just forget, and move on from you,
But I still can't shake this feeling, it’s all so untrue.

You made me feel like I was the one,
But now you’re gone, and I’m undone.
You loved me ‘til you found someone new,
Left me broken, and I’m still stuck on you.

And now you act like I meant nothing at all,
Like I was just some love that you’d let fall,
But I still feel you, haunting my mind,
Like a shadow that I can't leave behind.
You broke my heart, and you let it bleed,
You had what you wanted, but you didn’t need me.
I was just a moment you’d forget,
But I’ll remember you—every tear, every threat.

I cried myself to sleep again last night,
You said you loved me, but you ran from the fight,
You tore me apart with every word you said,
Left me in pieces, now I’m drowning in red.
You kissed me, adored me, said I was your dream,
But I was just a chapter in your shattered scheme.
You left me behind—like I was never real,
But I’ll never forget how you made me feel.

And now you’re gone, just like the rest,
Said you loved me, but never cared to confess.
I gave you everything, left nothing behind,
But you took my heart and you left me blind.

No more lies, no more sweet words,
Just the silence of the truth that hurts.
You promised forever, but it was just a game,
Now I’m left with nothing but the weight of my pain.

Lies

[ L y r i c s ]

You promised me the stars, said I was your world
You went for someone new, thought I was your girl
Fake promises and lies, you led me on
But now I’m standing tall, I'm already gone

I see the truth, I'm not a fool,
God sent you here to destroy me, but I'll break his rule
What you don't know is I always rise from the dust
Now I’m stronger than ever, built on trust in me, not lust

You thought you had me, but you never knew
I’m the fire you can’t put out, no matter what you do
You can’t destroy me,  I won’t break, won’t fall
Taking back my life, I’m standing tall

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
Watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, while I steer clear

I used to wonder what went wrong, where I went blind
I got taught a lesson, Now I’m taking back my mind
You thought you could break me, thought I’d fall apart
But I’ve built a throne from the ashes of my heart
Rising up, no fear, no turning back
Your lies can’t touch me, I’m walking in God’s path
You had your chance, but you never saw
I’m a queen in this game, you’re just a flaw

You thought you had me, but you never knew
I’m the fire you can’t put out, no matter what you do
You can’t destroy me,  I won’t break, won’t fall
Taking back my life, I’m standing tall

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
You can watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, cause I'm not near

You tried to break me, but you can't, I'm better than the rest
All these girls you have, they’ll never pass the test
They'll lie and cheat, while I stand loyal to someone else
I'm the one you lost, you fucked this up yourself
I’m the best you’ll never have, and you’ll see that soon
Enjoy your shitty life, I’ll rise past you

'Cause karma’s coming, and it’s coming for you
For all the lies, all the shit you put me through
All your hoes, your games, your shame, it’s done
I’m better without you, I've already won
You messed up, but I’m rising high
Watch me soar while you wonder why
Karma’s coming, karma’s here
You’ll regret it all, cause I won't be near

I’m soaring higher while you hit the ground
You’ll be left behind when karma comes around
No one will catch you when you start to fall
I’ll be winning, while you lose it all

Better Without You

[ L y r i c s ]

You came back, like it was all okay,  
Said you'd be different, but you pushed me away.  
One minute you cared, the next you were cold,  
How the hell was I supposed to know?  

You blocked me out like I was just a mistake,  
But you didn’t even care what was at stake.  
I gave you everything, you gave me nothing,  
Now I’m standing here, sick of this suffering.

You say you’re busy, but you lied to my face,  
Played with my heart like it's just a game to chase.  
I don’t need your pity, don’t need your “sorry,”  
Just leave me alone, don’t come back, don’t worry.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

You said you'd be here, but you weren't, were you?  
All those empty words, everything you screwed.  
You had me believing, I thought we could try,  
But you just shut me down, without a goodbye.  

And now you’re begging, asking not to be blocked,  
But you had your chance, now it’s time to walk.  
You thought I’d stay quiet, thought I’d wait in line,  
But I’m not your backup, I’m taking back what’s mine.

You thought I needed you, you thought I’d beg,  
But I’m not the fool you want to drag in your mess.  
You played your cards, now I'm making mine,  
I’m leaving you behind, I’m done wasting time.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

You think you can just come back in,  
But you burned that bridge, you don't get to win.  
You think I’ll fall for your pity and lies,  
But I see through the mask, I won’t compromise.  

I gave you my trust, you threw it away,  
I’m not begging, not crying, not here to stay.  
So don’t come knocking, don’t even try,  
I’m done with your games, I’m saying goodbye.

Byeeee, I’m done with your games,  
Byeeee, you don’t get to call my name.  
You think you’ve won, you think I’m still there,  
But you’ve pushed me too far, I don’t even care.  
Byeeee, I’m walking away,  
I’m done with the lies, I’ve had enough of your play.  
Byeeee, yeah, byeeee.

Byeeee, I don’t need you,  
Byeeee, I’m better off without you.  
Byeeee, no more tears, no more lies,  
Byeeee… you’re just another goodbye.

Byeeee

Do you still think of me when you’re all alone?  
Do you still hear my voice when you check your phone?  
Do you still see my face when the lights get low?  
Or did you fake it all, just let me go?  

I know you miss the way I used to hold it down  
Now you out here actin’ like I ain't around  
You can front, but I know you still checkin’ my page

For lettin’ you get close when you were someone else  
Should’ve known you were fake, should’ve left you on read  
Now you sick to your stomach ‘cause I’m gone instead  

Say you don’t care? Why you stalkin’ my life?  
New girl in your bed, but she ain't my type  
You can flex all you want, you ain't winnin’ this fight  
Boy, I had the last laugh, now you cryin’ at night  

Fuck love, I been numb to the pain  
Fuck trust, I don’t do that again  
You the one who walked away, left me in the rain  
Now you stuck in your head, drownin’ in the shame  

Do you still think of me when you’re all alone?

But I ain't thinkin’ of you  

Do You Still Think of Me

[ L y r i c s ]

Man, fuck you, fuck all that “friend” talk,  
You switched up quick, now you just a dead thought.  
Tried to play me? Boy, you played yourself,  
Should’ve stayed real, now you rot on the shelf.  

Talkin’ that shit like you ever meant it,  
You was just weak, yeah, I should’ve sent it.  
“Like me as a friend”? Bitch, shut the fuck up,  
Keep that weak-ass line, I don’t give a fuck.  

You worthless, you nothin’, you dust in the wind,  
I don’t need closure, I don’t need a friend.  
Shoulda known better, shoulda stayed in your lane,  
Now you just proof that these bitches the same.  

Now you mad ‘cause I don’t look back,  
You a mistake, just a part of my past.  
Thought you was fire, but bitch, you was trash,  
Took out the garbage, now I’m livin’ fast.  

You fumbled me, dumb as fuck, no cap,  
Could’ve had a queen, now you stuck with the rats.  
Beggin’ for a chance? Nah, bitch, stay back,  
I ain’t got time for no snakes in my path.  

I was too real, too solid, too raw,  
You just a bitch who be playin’ the fraud.  
I don’t forgive, and I don’t forget,  
Now I’m the storm that you ‘bout to regret.  

Now you see me up, now you see me shine,  
Bet that regret eatin’ you alive.  
Cry me a river, drown in your shame,  
You was a joke, now you just a name.  

Actin’ like I’m pressed? Bitch, I don’t care,  
Look in the mirror, that’s karma right there.

All that fake love? Bitch, bye-bye.  

You switched up fast, now you beggin’ for space,  
But I’m way too gone, can’t keep up with my pace.  
Did me so dirty, now you reap what you sow,  
Now you just mad ‘cause I’m colder than snow.  

I was the realest, the best that you had,  
You lost a diamond, be sick, be mad.  
Talk all that shit, but I know that you hurt,  
You miss what you had, yeah, I know what I’m worth.  

Run to your friends, go and cry, go complain,  
Ain’t changin’ shit, you still losin’ the game.  
Say what you want, I don’t care what you do,  
Bitch, I’m too blessed to be stressin’ on you.  

Now you see me shine, now you feel regret,  
Tryna rewrite shit? Nah, bitch, forget.  
Erase my name, don’t speak, don’t text,  
You ain't a loss, just a lesson at best.  

Fuck you, fuck your lies, fuck your face,  
Fuck every word, shoulda known you was fake.  
I don’t need love, I don’t need shit,  
All I need now is to watch you regret. 




[ L y r i c s ]

I drift in the mist, where shadows play,  
But now the night doesn’t steal my name.  
I was lost, but the moon still shone,  
Whispering softly, I wasn’t alone.  

I hide behind the lunar veil,  
But now I feel the wind that sails.  
It used to bind me, tie me tight,  
But now it lifts me into light.

I’m not the ghost I used to be,  
I’ve found the place where I can breathe.  
The shadows that I once could taste,  
Now fade away with every trace.

Eyes of glass, they once were cracked,  
But now they shine, and I take them back.  
I still move slow, I still retreat,  
But now there’s warmth beneath my feet.

The lunar veil, it once was thick,  
But now I feel it start to slip.  
The storm is quiet, the air is clear,  
And for the first time, I have no fear.

I’ll dance again in fading light,  
Not as a ghost, but as the night.  
No more hiding, no more shame,  
I rise from the ashes, free of pain.

I was the shadow, I was the flame,  
But now I stand, I make my name.  
And if the night calls me again,  
I’ll answer, but I’ll dance with friends.

I’ll burn like fire, soft and kind,  
A fading star that leaves behind  
A path of peace, of healing grace
The lunar veil, now just a trace.

Lunar Veil (Reprise)

🦁 Track I of VIII– Storm Beneath
(Captivity, Identity, and the Quiet Roar)

In the shadows of a gilded cage lives a lion not yet broken, not yet free. This first chapter begins in stillness — in a place where strength has been silenced, wildness misunderstood, and the heart of a king is mistaken for a beast too wild to tame, too strange to love.

Though he's fed, admired, and given a place to lie, his soul knows something is missing. His roar is locked behind his ribs. His fire sleeps beneath his skin. The world applauds his obedience, but he aches to remember who he truly is.

As he paces the edges of his prison, dreams stir beneath the surface. He begins to question the chains. Not the ones of iron — but the ones forged in fear, in comfort, in forgetting.

This is the prelude to legend:
A lion who dares to wonder…
"What if I was never meant to be tamed?"

The Storm Beneath

🦁 Track II of VIII – In Dreams
(Illusion, Longing, and the Lullaby of Forgetting)

After the first stirrings of rebellion, the lion finds himself wandering through a world not made of bars or keepers, but of mist and memory. This chapter unfolds in twilight — a place between waking and sleep, where the echoes of his old roar drift through dreamlike forests, softened and strange.

Here, the lion is no longer caged, yet not truly free. He lies beneath an ancient tree pulsing with forgotten magic. Gentle spirits crown his mane with starlight. The winds sing lullabies of peace, of rest, of surrender. And for a moment, he lets go… not of who he was, but of who he’s trying to become.

But not all that is beautiful is true.

The dream speaks in kind whispers, but carries the scent of sleep too deep. It tempts him to stay — to forget the fire, to trade the roar for rest. There’s no pain here. No hunger. Only stillness. But somewhere beyond the trees, beyond the veil of illusion, a memory stirs like distant thunder:

“You are not done.”
“Wake up.”

This is the dream that lulls kings into silence — and dares them to awaken.

In Dreams

🦁 Track III of VIII – A Marvelous Game
(Waking, Deception, and the Theater of Chains)

The dream fades — and with it, the beauty, the peace, the illusions that once burned bright.
The lion stirs, not in freedom, but in cold iron and dim, suffocating light.

Gone are the misty forests and the songs of starlight. In their place stands a crumbling stage, built of rotting wood and twisted bars, dressed in shadows pretending to be gold. The crowd’s roar rumbles through the air, but it is not of kinship or love — it is hunger, spectacle, ownership.

Here, he is not celebrated for his spirit, but for his ability to bend without breaking. They call it a marvelous game — a performance that questions the truth of the dream itself. Was it just a trick of the light? A fleeting vision? A game we played in hope, only to find the rules were written in chains?

At first, the lion staggers under the weight of this false world, dizzy on the echoes of the dream he lost. He plays his part, offering roars on command, letting the applause dull the gnawing ache inside.

But truth gnashes within him.
Truth roars through his blood.

This is not freedom. This is not life.
This is slavery dressed in velvet.
This is death by forgetting.

In the gloom, something ancient stirs:
An untamed fire that no dream, no chain, no lie can kill.

This is the snare that turns kings into prisoners — and dares them to shatter the stage.

A Marvelous Game

[ L y r i c s ]

i don’t wake up healed  
i wake up remembering  
every word that cut  
every hand that let go  
when i needed holding  

i learned early  
people love you until it’s not fun anymore  
until you're too much  
too heavy  
too human  

and i’m tired of waiting  
tired of bleeding apologies  
so i stitched the wounds myself  
ugly crooked  
still leaking sometimes  
but they’re mine  

i walk into rooms without hope  
just ready to leave  
safety’s not in people  
it’s in knowing i’ll survive  
being left  
again  
and again  
and again  
and again  

they broke me  
but they didn’t end me  
and some nights  
that’s the only win i have  
but it’s enough  
it’s enough  

no hands to catch me  
no hearts that stayed  
but i became the silence  
they were too loud to hear  

no hands to catch me  
no hearts that stayed  
but i became the silence  
they were too loud to hear

I don’t wake up healed

[ L y r i c s ]

I hope tonight is my last night, 
I hope tomorrow there won't be a fight. 
I hope I don’t wake up from my dream, 
I hope I stay lost there, 

I don’t want it to look like a crime scene. 
I don’t want to go out in a vicious way, 
I want my spirit to float away. 
I want to die in peace, that's the point of leaving. 

It will hurt to lose you, but I can't keep beating myself, 
saying it's ok, he's just honest in the most brutal way. 
Just like all the girls before, 
letting me go won’t be a chore. 

It makes me think, “did you care at all”? 
People don’t fall out of love this fast. 
It hurts knowing my memory won't last. 
It didn't make any impact on you.  
All you’ll care about is the truth. 

I won’t care by the time you're hearing this, 
because I won't be breathing the air you're breathing in. 
I’ll be 6ft under the ground, 
where no one will stop my tears from coming out. 
And alone I’ll lay, all thanks to you. 
I’ll be free soon. 

No matter what you think today, 
you’ll never really understand my pain. 
It hurts like hell, is all I can say, 
I want you to care, but you don’t, 
it's ok. I’ll beg, I'll plead, until you push me away, 

I’ll off myself down at the bay. 
I’m in too much pain to keep going, 
I can’t fight for you anymore, 
whatever happens, happens, 
is how the story will go. 

I no longer care about losing “God’s people” because I know deep down, 
he would never have hurt his disciples. 
I’m in pain, but you won’t let your way go. 
It's because you're hurt too, I know. 

Neither of us deserved what we went through. 
But was it really worth it? 
Hurting someone whose only intention was to love you.

I hope tonight is my last night

I am the voice for those who seek
Strength when darkness peaks.
I live a life wild and free
Forged in fire, untamed like the sea.

Yet in the shadows, light will rise,
A spark reflecting in weary eyes.
Through storm and silence, loss and fear,
A guiding flame still burns clear.

Sebastian—steadfast, strong and true,
A warrior’s heart in midnight’s hue.
Theodore—gifted hands to heal,
A name that speaks of love made real.
And Lucas—born to blaze the way,
A torch against the darkest gray.

No chains can bind, no night consume,
For light will break the deepest gloom.
A Viking soul, both fierce and wise,
With northern winds behind his eyes.

I walk alone, yet I ignite,
A nameless soul—but burning bright.
A kingdom’s call, a truth to find,
A beacon in the hands of time.

Drifting between melodies and words, I weave stories from the whispers of the wind and the echoes of the soul. A seeker of truth, I find inspiration in the rhythm of nature and the spark of human connection. My spirit walks with the snowy owl and arctic wolf, rooted in the strength of my Viking ancestry. Through music and creation, I build—shaping a kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. No single path holds all the answers, but every path holds a piece of the truth.
