Silence is a power and a tool for you, for you
Wild tigers I have known
They see me down, messin' around
You keep your heart from your chest
It'll be gone just like the rest

'Cause it's a man's world
Say all the right words
And hold your heart from your chest
The silence and the call
And their beauty stands right and still for you

Holding flames, holding hands and hearts
And their bindings held tightly
Lyin' in the shady grass, their teeth grinding
Insight is foreign
'Cause it's the magic hand that holds you gently
And turns one into man
And their insight is bloody
To reach boldly for truth spoken from mouth in his name

There will be wise men singin', bringing you luck now
There will be wise men singin', bringing you luck now
There will be wise men singin', bringing you luck, bringing you luck

Now it's the precious end of time
Hand in pocket, bright light
Wild tigers I have known
They see me down messin' around
