[Intro - driving arena rock, pounding drums, church bells, chugging guitars] (Oh-oh-oh!) (Eye of the Tiger!) (Oh-oh-oh!) [Verse 1 - aggressive 80s arena rock] Risin' up, church bells are ringin' Another nightmare at the gate Dead are scratchin', demons screamin' Looks like supper's running late Christian calls and THIS CAT answers Steel already in his hand Some folks freeze and some start prayin' THIS CAT takes a stand [Pre-Chorus - building tension] Claws out Head high Another fool about to die [Chorus - huge singalong] IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Fire burnin' in the night Katana of Stygia singin' As THIS CAT joins the fight IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Hear the battle cry You can send your hordes to meet me THIS CAT'S STILL A TIGER (HEY!) (EYE OF THE TIGER!) [Verse 2 - harder guitars] Risin' up, another evening Another horde outside the wall Everybody's got opinions THIS CAT answers every call Christian's barkin' out the orders Raylen's tryin' not to die THIS CAT's already through six zombies Before they blink an eye [Pre-Chorus] Steel drawn Blood flies Another demon meets demise [Chorus - bigger] IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Fire burnin' in the night Katana of Stygia singin' As THIS CAT joins the fight IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Hear the battle cry You can send your hordes to meet me THIS CAT'S STILL A TIGER (HEY!) (EYE OF THE TIGER!) [Guitar Solo - soaring 80s arena rock lead, heroic, triumphant] [Verse 3 - triumphant, swaggering] Every night they keep on comin' Every night they get put down Zombies, demons, things from nightmares THIS CAT runs them out of town Lost some friends and buried others Still the bells keep ringin' loud Yet every time the darkness gathers THIS CAT makes them proud [Pre-Chorus - biggest build] Stand tall Hold fast Predators are built to last [Final Chorus - maximum arena rock, gang vocals] IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Fire burnin' in the night Katana of Stygia singin' As THIS CAT joins the fight IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER Hear the battle cry You can send your hordes forever THIS CAT'S STILL A TIGER (HEY!) (EYE OF THE TIGER!) IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER King of every battlefield I WILL BE YOUR SWORD (CHRISTIAN: AND I WILL BE YOUR SHIELD!) IT'S THE EYE OF THE TIGER And this cat will never yield [Extended Guitar Solo - blazing arena rock finale, twin guitar harmonies, crowd chants] (EYE OF THE TIGER!) (EYE OF THE TIGER!) (EYE OF THE TIGER!) [Outro - church bells, sustained guitar, crowd chanting] THIS CAT'S STILL A TIGER. (EYE OF THE TIGER...) [End]
