Analysis of Cats cry



I hear the cats cry
I watch him pass on by
He shows no fear or pain
His tears become the rain

Just like the hungry lion
Who swiftly walks so proud
A deceitful man will easily hunt
The weak among the crowd

Simply blinded by his instinct
His ritual is the same
Will the king of kings survival
Ever challenge a better game?

He treads on common ground
To show he wears a crown
His roar is his defense
Unfaithful to recompense

I hear the cats cry
I watch him pass on by
He shows no fear or pain
His tears become the rain
