(Intro — whispered/ambient) Tyger....Tyger... Burning… burning… in the mind… Trace the pattern… line by line… (Verse 1) Burning bright in fractured sight Through the calm and through the night Patrick walks a razor line Reading sins like sacred signs (Refrain) Burning bright—who draws the thread? Who paints smiling ghosts in red? (Chorus) Oh, the fire you can’t outrun Marked and named by Red John Circle closed, the trap is spun All roads lead to what you’ve done Mind to mind, design to design Patrick breaks you, line by line (Verse 2) Silent rooms and subtle cues Every lie he will unchoose Every breath and every glance Falls apart beneath his stance (Refrain) Burning bright—what hand made fear? What voice whispers in your ear? (Chorus) Oh, the fire you can’t outrun Called to life by Red John Every game already won Long before it’s begun Mind to mind, design to design Patrick sees through every sign (Bridge — heavy, ritualistic) Hammer strike or woven lie? Truth is shaped, but so am I Hunter, hunted—same decree Bound within this symmetry (Breakdown — slow, crushing) Red smile… painted flame… Say his name… say his name… Patrick… closer… by step…a step No escape… no regret… (Final Chorus — expanded) Oh, the fire you can’t outrun Face to face with Red John Justice burns but comes undone When the mirror shows just one Mind to mind, design to design Patrick ends it—line by line (Outro — fading chant) Tyger ...Tyger.. Burning… burning… in the mind… Who creates… and who defines…
