There is day and there is night
In every soul. And in my own
The darkness overcomes the light
The urge to hunt, to seize, to bite
Is strong in me. I’ve always known
That there is day and there is light.
And day is beautiful, and bright
But oh, the secrets night has shown!
The darkness overcomes the light.
When I am human, I am slight
And insignificant, alone.
But there is day, and there is night.
And in the dark, I find my might
As jaguar, I claim my throne.
Though there is day, and there is night,
The darkness overcomes the light.
