Chapters

Face to face, out in the heat, hanging tough and staying hungry. It's not the odds till we take to the street. Born to kill with the skill to survive. It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival, and the last known survivor strokes his prey. I'm ready. I owe a tiger. It's the thrill of the fight, rising to the challenge of a rival, and the last known survivor stalks its prey in the night. Enemies watch you, a soul with the eye of the tiger. Of a tiger, of a tiger, of a tiger, of a tiger.
