E                      A
Night time fell at the opening
E                         A
In the final act of the beginning of time
E                                    A
Hyena, take your role, the stage is set
E                         A
The town is safe again tonight

Chorus:
D A       G
Hyena (I see the day ahead)
  A        D
Hyena (And all that I've cried through)
  A          D
Hyena (God knows you're doing that, don't you?)

Hyena, sister, look to your hand
Man, you serve communal interest
She'll tell you when and
where and how and why you'd hurt
A beautiful young lady

Chorus

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
Meager pay, but recognition
Hyena crawls on his belly out
The town is safe again tonight, oh

Chorus:
Hyena (I see the changes, man)
Hyena (Going on across the way)
Hyena (I see my road ahead)
Hyena (Don't know if I should stay)

Hyena (I see you holding him)
Hyena (And all that i've cried through)
Hyena (God knows you're doing that, don't you?)
Oh
