The Tiger Lyrics


When the Tiger walks the earth

Drags the sun and moon caught in its tail away

When the lightning strikes the eye

You better grab onto the fur that holds the world

On and on the rivers flow

Himalaya turns night to day

Lightning strikes, morning comes with me

Hear the thunder!

When the serpent's coil unfurls

Piercing bough and flesh caught in its way to break

When the jungle crouch in storm

You better steel yourself for the Tiger's rage

It burns away!

On and on the rivers flow

Himalaya turns night to day

Lightning strikes

Morning comes with me

Hear the thunder!

I will light the colours of the dark

I will bring blood back to earth

The order of the world

I will light the colours of the dark

And when the jungles burn

All will hear

The Tiger

(The Tiger)

On bloodied claws I tear the earth

Putrid bodies, sordid flesh will make my bed

And the jungle crouch in storm

You better bow yourself for the Tiger's rage

It burns away!

On and on the rivers flow

Himalaya turns night to day

Lightning strikes

Morning comes with me

Hear the thunder!

I will light the colours of the dark

I will bring blood back to earth

The order of the world

I will light the colours of the dark

And when the jungles burn

All will hear

The Tiger

(The Tiger)

Can you hear the thunder?

(The Tiger)

(The Tiger)

(The Tiger)
