In the forests of this bitter night
Tiger, ti ger, how you burnt your stripes
Tiger, ti ger, how you burnt your stripes
give to me your poisoned paw
Those toxins slow, surely subside
You hold your head so high,
have you burnt your stripes?
The darkness steals from you
It hurts and stings, the darkness runs,
The darkness runs, don't run in vain
Tiger, ti ger, how you burn your stripes
Tiger, tiger, how you burned your stripes
when the stars threw down,
Did he smile, it's worth to say
Did he who made the lamp,
did he who made the lamp make me
Tiger, tiger, how you burnt your stripes
how do you bunch your stripes?
