Through my eye of The Tyger, I can see
Does Thou not know of The Lamb? Well, I'll tell thee
One so naively honorable, made by an unknown creator
But tell me, what makes your father an adjudicator?
Is it the believable phenomenon that you are made by him?
Or are you intimidated by the use of his authority on a whim?
To humanity, we have outweighing similarities.
But in our eyes, we are opposite polarities.
I exhibit the shadows, the darkness beneath your skin,
While the Lamb is the light and sun, dancing with a grin
If He is all things beautiful, I am all things ugly.
If He is all humble, then I shall act smugly.
How should I shine if my brother shines?
He embodies the forest, water, and pines.
I exist solely to make humanity’s life more bitter,
At once, The Lamb becomes an exceptional emitter.
Through the eyes of The Lamb, he will joyfully cry
You now know of The Tyger! Or did your Father lie?
