king of the serengeti
kills to eat, eats to live,

The tiny shrew in the hedgerow,
none more fierce than he!
kills to eat, eats to live,
in the green heat of an english summer.
Great or small, large or tiny,
in the plan of life
all kill to eat, eat to live
wherever they exist.
The dark destroyer alone,
kills for pleasure
kills for material gain,
blinkered by his own importance.
When will he win his inner fight?
so important to natures plan
only when darkness is conquered by light,
will light shine again on the goodness of man.

The golden maned lord,
king of the serengeti
kills to eat, eats to live,
in the shadow of mighty kilimanjaro.
The tiny shrew in the hedgerow,
none more fierce than he!
kills to eat, eats to live,
in the green heat of an english summer.
Great or small, large or tiny,
in the plan of life
all kill to eat, eat to live
wherever they exist.
The dark destroyer alone,
kills for pleasure
kills for material gain,
blinkered by his own importance.
When will he win his inner fight?
so important to natures plan
only when darkness is conquered by light,
will light shine again on the goodness of man.
