Tiger Army - Prisoner Of The Night lyrics

I walk the streets so endlessly Wandering where they cannot see Fight my way through the struggle and strife But I've become - a prisoner of the night An alley cat so strong and proud Sometimes you have to run and hide before you pounce I look straight into the glow of his eyes And he knows I'm a prisoner of the night With a swish of his tail he is gone And save for my shadow I'm alone But the feeling of danger is there Like a cat I crouch and stare I'll go down fighting all the way The hair on my neck stands like his would And there is cold steel at my side Please do not force my hand 'Cause I will end your life The stars look on indifferently Then I awaken from my dreams It is the afternoon, it's all slipped away from me People walk, the city bustles with life But soon enough I'll be a prisoner of the night
