The Night of The Tiger

The light of the moon shines

It's pale rays of gloom upon the land

The creatures of the day have given way

For the creatures of the night

Behold the tiger

The predator of the night

He steps out of the shadows

And into the rays of the moon

As he stands within the gaze of the moon,

Its seems as though he were invoking

A spell of doom

Upon the creatures of the land

_"Strength come to me!...Make me though and keen!"

"Speed embrace me!...Make my movements fast and hasty!"

"Stealth take me paw!...Make me invisible to them all!"

"Sound I beg thee!...Do not betray me!

Keep me silent and my Prey loud!"_

After his invocation has been said

He then heads back into the shadows of the night

God have mercy upon the creatures of the land

For the night of the tiger is at hand!
