For This Year of the Tiger

Now we live in the world of HR Giger
Everything is striped and predatory
Bid welcome to this year of the tiger

Our vision twisted by fire and desire
Justify our present with backstory
Now we live in the world of HR Giger

Warp meaning like a pundit, a liar
Stretch the meter much too long with their allegory
…this year of the tiger

So distracted by fighter and flyer;
Gold enough to call this purgatory
But greys hide a world by HR Giger

Party or congregation outsider
We wait beside the laboratory
Anxious about this year of the tiger

Blake’s tyger never burned brighter
Spare us symmetrical category
We can fix this world of HR Giger
Change our stripes in this year of the tiger
