When you live in the outlands
It's better to make your own rules
Ask anyone outside the pridelands
The circle of life is for fools

We go where we want when we want to
And we eat, yes we eat, as we please
That Kion can't give us a curfew
Or tell us to stay in the trees

Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
No one's safe
So the time is right
The circle of life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike

So before this new guard is ready
To defend the pridelands from harm
We'll make them all feel unsteady
We'll give them cause for alarm

Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
No one's safe
So the time is right
The circle of life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike

While the animals are in their slumber
We'll be creeping beneath
And just like a roaring thunder
We'll wake them up with our teeth

Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
No one's safe
So the time is right
The circle of life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
Tonight we strike
