Tiger Of Sabrod Lyrics
At night in the forrest of Sabrod
A tiger in search of his prey
I wonder will we be alive by the dawning of day?
Predator of godly creation
In hunger he stops at no child
Obsessed by the fever to follow the call of the wild
Take this life
And you're safe
Say goodbye for today
It's the tiger of Sabrod
And he's fighting from the heart
Will you return?
Tiger of Sabrod
Oh - Tiger of Sabrod
The eyes of the tiger are closed now
And lifeless he lies in the mud
Don't trust in your triumoh and glory
Revenge will bring blood
At night he will raise from the dead ones
And then he will search you all night and day
The wolf will still live on tomorrow - Survivors will pay!
Take this life
And you're safe
Say goodbye for today
It's the tiger of Sabrod
And he's fighting from the heart
Will you return?
Tiger of Sabrod
Oh - Tiger of Sabrod
A tiger in search of his prey
I wonder will we be alive by the dawning of day?
In hunger he stops at no child
Obsessed by the fever to follow the call of the wild
And you're safe
Say goodbye for today
And he's fighting from the heart
Will you return?
Oh - Tiger of Sabrod
And lifeless he lies in the mud
Don't trust in your triumoh and glory
Revenge will bring blood
And then he will search you all night and day
The wolf will still live on tomorrow - Survivors will pay!
And you're safe
Say goodbye for today
And he's fighting from the heart
Will you return?
Oh - Tiger of Sabrod

This song is inspired by a local story from a German village called "Sabrodt" (in German, the name of the story is "Tiger von Sabrodt").
Basically, in 1904, the last German wolf was shot in Sabrodt. The wolf in question was a very large one (1.60 meters length, 80 cm withers and a live weight of 41 kg). It was apparently very agile, able to evade capture from its hunters 18 times, until finally being killed, and the contractors receiving 100 marks as head money. The wolf was being hunted because it attacked cattle and supposedly angered and/or scared the population. After its death, the wolf was put on display and attracted more than 500 visitors.
The term "Tiger" comes from the fact that at least one person assumed the wolf was a tiger who escaped a circus, given how long it had been since the last wolf sighting.
Also, these are the correct lyrics:
At night in the forest of Sabrod A tiger in search of his prey I wonder will we be alive by the dawning of day?
Predator of godly creation In hunger he stops at no child Possessed by the fever to follow the call of the wild
Take this life When you say, Say goodbye for today
It's a tiger of Sabrod And he's fighting from the heart Will you return?
Tiger of Sabrod Oh - Tiger of Sabrod
The eyes of the tiger are close now And lifeless he lies in the mud Don't trust in your triumph and glory Revenge will bring blood
At night he will rise from the dead ones And then he will search you all night and day The wolf will still live on tomorrow - Survivors will pay!
Take this life When you say, Say goodbye for today
It's a tiger of Sabrod And he's fighting from the heart Will you return?
Tiger of Sabrod Oh - Tiger of Sabrod
