Lion of Judah Unbound

Emperor divine, Ras Tafari's heir
Conquering Lion, with wisdom rare
Betrayed by those he thought loyal
Coup d'état, his reign to spoil
Palace becomes a golden cage
Silent resistance, quiet rage

Lion of Judah unbound
Though imprisoned, still crowned
Selassie's spirit can't be caged
His courage, eternally staged
Ethiopia's heart beats in his chest
Face of betrayal, he stands the test

Modernizer, reformer bold
Now his own people's faith turns cold
House arrest, a fallen king
But his legacy continues to sing
Never abdicating his rightful throne
Dignity intact, he stands alone

Lion of Judah unbound
Though imprisoned, still crowned
Selassie's spirit can't be caged
His courage, eternally staged
Ethiopia's heart beats in his chest
Face of betrayal, he stands the test

Years pass by, regime grows weak
But Selassie won't bend or break
In silence, his strength resounds
As history takes its rounds
The emperor's wisdom echoes still
Through every valley, over every hill

From palace to prison, head held high
Lion's courage will never die
Betrayed but not broken, he perseveres
His dignity conquering all fears
Jah Rastafari, legend untamed
In history's book, forever famed

Lion of Judah unbound
Though imprisoned, still crowned
Selassie's spirit can't be caged
His courage, eternally staged
Ethiopia's heart beats in his chest
Face of betrayal, he stands the test

Lion of Judah, your roar resounds
Breaking all earthly bounds
In betrayal's face, you stood strong
Your courage, an eternal song
Haile Selassie, name of power
Your spirit blooms like a desert flower
