see tiger the first out on the hunt

but he was ever afraid to jump

too slow to catch his prey

he was doomed to waste away

"too late! too late!" you will cry

when the right time has passed you by

when unknown steps you must take

unknown problems you will create 

​

but if you must create, you might destroy 

you risk sorrow, if you'd find joy 

tiger the first played it too safe

with that he sealed his fate 

​

CHORUS

you can't unring the bell

the fuse that you lit, it will never unmelt

the wilderness wont stay wild for long

​

see tiger the second out on the prowl

always running too fast and loud

either his prey would catch his wind

or he would leave none left to live

running ahead without looking around

a fine was to lose what's been found

and if you can't fix what you broke

on your mistakes you will surely choke

​

certainly no one could outrun him

no escaping that wicked grin

but tiger the second was hunter the worst 

and we will die just like the first 

​

now tiger the third got it just right

learning when and how to strike

never too slow, never too fast

he was the only tiger to last 

well you never see a slow tiger around

a fast tiger just can't be found

but the tiger that plans its attack

is the tiger sinking its teeth in your back

​

now your world is in shambles

and you cannot handle

the weight of the power you bring

all we can do is explain to you

and it's why we have to sing

​

CHORUS

you can't unring the bell

the fuse that you lit, it will never unmelt

the door once opened will not stay closed
