The lady of the tiger
Which door will you choose?
One path means corruption
Or destruction red in tooth
She crossed the wire at midnight
To seek new animal thrills
In the jungle there is just one law
It's the beast within that kills
The prowler growls your name and stalks the alleys of this hell
A feral instinct knows it all too well
You can't escape the laser claw that pierces through the veil
A secret you won't live to tell
Tiger! Tiger! She kills and kills again
Rider! Rider! A twist with a sting in the tail
Fire! Fire! Like a million gun salute
Tiger! Tiger! Turn and face the high explosive truth
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch the Devil by his toe
Then dance with death to the final breath
In the fight to seize control
Armed and ready, prowling steady
Shining plates of steel
Transformation into overdrive
Going underneath her wheels
A steaming urban jungle where his victims dress in black
Green eyes that paint target on your back
If you're walking home alone beware the beast between the cracks
Crouching to prepare for the attack
The prowler growls your name and stalks the alleys of this hell
A feral instinct knows it all too well
You can't escape the laser claw that pierces through the veil
A secret you won't live to tell
Tiger! Tiger! She kills and kills again
Rider! Rider! A twist with a sting in the tail
Fire! Fire! Like a million gun salute
Tiger! Tiger! Turn and face the high explosive truth
Eyes of fearful symmetry
Survey the year of the beast
Call it sport of murder
But watch your back at least
You children of tomorrow
Leave the city ruins be
Something's waiting there that never sleeps
With deadly fangs of steel
History forgotten
What swept the world aside?
Here be tigers, tigers burning bright
