Cat after cat after cat
had that clan ran down
Trapped and tormented
Hunted and found

Killed

The puma, the panther, bobcat and more
Leopard and lion and cheetahs beside
For years on end the chase was real
Nobody could hinder the hunter's zeal

Furs for rugs, coats and trophies
Big cat skins shipped on oceans
Claws and teeth and even tails
The cargo under a pirate's sails

Now the dusk was falling fast
Into this world, Persuveus was cast
A hero in an age so dark
would now on his journey embark

In the twilight of the west
as stars rise on the scene
This resident stranger appears
to put an end to the years of fiends.

On the plain he walked as a man
but heard and felt a cry for help
He heard the low and moaning wail
of a wild and lonely yelp

Following the trail of tears
where his brothers led him on
Persuveus sensed a dread and fear
and knew his prey would be along

Lights in the distance rolled by
and the ground seemed to roll under him
Hurriedly he ran toward the commotion
He knew his fight would begin

He came upon the car and the men
looking for something they could not quite see
Rifles were ready in their hands
until they spotted the Bengal up a tree
