This song has really helped me to see the better side of things and I am planning on using an excerpt in my testimony I am writing. I love the part where it says “I wanna stand up a hundred feet tall because fear will never lead my way. I’m ready to run a hundred miles strong I will never be the same.” - pop evil. I got to see what hell looked like and I don’t plan on going back.

Pop Evil, I know you probably never will read this, but if you happen to, you should consider doing more songs like this one. Your sound is unique and you branch out a lot into different types, but definitely keep this kind of harder sound at least some in your albums. It really suits you.

My son has a traumatic brain injury from a car accident i shared this song with him and since i taught him how to play drums when he was little and he was in love with the drummer because of her double bass!! when the say music is the best therapy very true! the doctor pushed him to play music after his accident which in turn did help his brain start to piece things together and help him heal!

This song helps me with my Faith. God, Jesus, the lions in my heart! Amazing anthem for those feeling weak who need to find courage

I used to doubt myself but after listening to waking lions I felt stronger and better than i ever thought thank you Pop Evil

I love the guitars in this one. Glad they took the time to make it a bit of a mind fuck with the opening riff and switch it up. I especially admire the bands diversity from tune to tune. Hope they continue making the heavier stuff like this.

I love this song. And songs with powerful lyrics. I’m getting “Fear will never lead my way” tattooed on me somewhere. Love these guys

One of the best drum tracks out there. She kicks azz!!!!

Man, every time I come back to this song I'm blown away at how awesome it is. Jeez, what a great song!

Kicks serious ass!! Whole album deserves highlights!!

Seen them play this song live for the first time this year, it was their opening show of the tour, they were phenomenal! Also caught a drumstick that was tossed into the audience so that was just awesome!
