They walk in quiet and so silently still,
One predator of nature in the noiseless hills.
 
Through time it remains, in stories to unfold
Like a shaman priest, a mystery untold.
 
In the Amazon, hidden, a jaguar’s home
Where hunters hunt, a scary zone.
 
They say their eyes are green like fire.
Beneath the darkening shadows, one jaguar.
 
Onca, Onca, he’ll take your breath away,
You the hunter, you the prey.
 
They stalk by day and they stalk by night,
Intertwined with human fears, their dwindling plight.
 
A beast that kills with just one leap
Where monkeys scream and anacondas creep.
 
Charismatic cats, some brown, tawny and black.
A campfire burns one empty shack.
 
They’re elusive in the night, elusive in the day.
I want to be the jaguar of your mountain and take you away.
