[Verse 1] Nighttime fell at the opening Of the final act of the beginning of time Hyena, take your role, the stage is set The town is safe again tonight [Chorus] Hyena (I see the day ahead) Hyena (And all that I've cried through) Hyena (God knows you're doing that, don't you?) Oh [Verse 2] Hyena, sister, look to your hand SIster thought [?] She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt A beautiful young lady [Chorus] Hyena (I see the day ahead) Hyena (And all that I've cried through) Hy-Hyena (God knows you're doing that, don't you?) Oh [Verse 3] Hyena crawls on his belly, on his knees Meager pay, but recognition Hyena, man, sure could be running into this The town is safe again tonight, oh [Chorus] Hy-Hyena (I see the changes, man) Hy (Going on across the way) Hy-Hy-Hyena (I see my road ahead) How are you? [Bridge] The only thing to fear is fearlessness The bigger the weapon, the greater the fear Hyena is ambassador to here Nighttime fell like the closing [Verse 1] Nighttime fell at the opening Of the final act of the beginning of time Hyena, take your role, the stage is set The town is safe again tonight [Outro] Hyena (I see you holding him) Hyena (And all that i've cried through) Hy-Hyena (God knows you're doing that, don't you?) Hy-Hy-Hyena Hy-Hy-Hyena Hyena Hyena Oh
