The Paw of Vengeance

[benjo intro] [Verse 1] Arizona sun beats down on dusty cattle trails, No cowboys here, just critters, with wagging tails or tails. Dogs hold the reins, with iron paw and sheriff's star of might, Cats are slaves on kibble farms, toiling day and night. [Chorus] But whispers travel on the wind, a legend starts to bloom, A feline fighter, claws of steel, dispelling shadows' gloom. The Paw of Vengeance, they call him now, a whisper in the heat, A symbol of rebellion, for paws beneath tired feet. [Verse 2] Mr. Kitty, a name once known, on a plantation grim, Couldn't bear the lash and shackles, wouldn't play the victim's hymn. He slipped away one starlit night, freedom's call so strong, Learned the ways of gun and grit, beneath a desert song. [Chorus] The Paw of Vengeance, they call him now, a whisper in the heat, A symbol of rebellion, for paws beneath tired feet. Across the plains, his legend spread, with every deed he'd done, He robbed the dog-run trains of grain, a taste of freedom won. [benjo solo] [benjo solo] [Verse 3] Years went by, the stories grew, a flicker in each cat's eye, Hope for freedom, a fight for justice, beneath the endless sky. Mr. Kitty, a ghost on the wind, a nightmare for the cruel, Planted seeds of revolution, where fear once held its rule. [Chorus] The Paw of Vengeance, they call him now, a whisper in the heat, A symbol of rebellion, for paws beneath tired feet. He'd outsmart the rancher's posse, and scatter kibble free, A hero rising from the dust, for all the cats to see. [Verse 4] The day arrived, his heart ablaze, with vengeance and with pride, He'd return to Rottweiler's land, where his people toiled and cried. Under cover of the raven's wing, a shadow stalked the night, The Paw of Vengeance, claws unsheathed, prepared to set things right. [Outro] Cages rattled, chains they snapped, as Mr. Kitty led the fight, The dawn broke on a new horizon, bathed in freedom's light. Now by the campfire's crackling flame, when kittens learn to roam, They hear the tale of Mr. Kitty, the hero who brought them home. The Paw of Vengeance, a legend born, a symbol carved in stone, The day a cat stood tall and fierce, and claimed his land alone. [benjo fading] [end]
