Firecat’s Last Leap

(Verse 1)
Out in the night where the sirens scream,
A Siberian tabby with a firefighter’s dream.
Ginger fur glows ‘neath the smoke-filled sky,
Claws grip the ladder, he’s ready to fly.
Born in the alleys, tough as the street,
This cat’s faced flames where the devil’s heat.
But tonight’s the blaze that’ll test his soul,
A monster fire, burning out of control.

(Chorus)
Oh, Firecat’s leapin’ through the ragin’ flame,
Heart’s poundin’ hard, but he’s playin’ the game.
On the roof of that inferno, he’s standin’ tall,
Wonderin’ if he’ll make it home at all.

(Verse 2)
The building groans like a wounded beast,
Sparks rain down, it’s a devil’s feast.
His whiskers singe, but his spirit’s strong,
He’s fought these fires his whole life long.
From kitten to chief, he’s saved so many,
Paws scarred deep, but his heart’s still plenty.
Now the roof’s ahead, a crumbling stage,
One leap to glory or a fiery cage.

(Chorus)
Oh, Firecat’s leapin’ through the ragin’ flame,
Heart’s poundin’ hard, but he’s playin’ the game.
On the roof of that inferno, he’s standin’ tall,
Wonderin’ if he’ll make it home at all.

(Bridge)
He sees her now, in the smoke’s cruel haze,
That Bengal beauty, her golden gaze.
She’s waitin’ home by the window’s light,
Purrin’ soft for her hero tonight.
“Hold on, my love,” he growls to the wind,
“I’ll fight this blaze, I ain’t givin’ in.”
But the roof’s a trap, and the beams give way,
One chance to jump, or it’s hell to pay.

(Verse 3)
The crowd below holds its breath in fear,
This tabby’s legend, his moment’s here.
Tail flicks sharp, like a whip in the night,
He springs through the fire, a streak of light.
The flames reach up, but they can’t hold him,
His heart’s with her, and it’s freedom’s hymn.
Will he land on his feet, like cats always do?
Or will the fire claim a soul so true?

(Chorus)
Oh, Firecat’s leapin’ through the ragin’ flame,
Heart’s poundin’ hard, but he’s playin’ the game.
On the roof of that inferno, he’s standin’ tall,
Wonderin’ if he’ll make it home at all.
To his Bengal queen, with them long, sleek legs,
Love of his life, through the nights and dregs.
Will he see her eyes ‘fore the embers fade?
Or be lost in the fire where his fate’s been laid?

(Outro)
Down the street, where the dawn breaks through,
A tabby limps home, his fur scorched and dew.
She’s there at the door, with a purr so sweet,
Long legs dancin’ where their hearts still meet.
Firecat’s home, through the ashes and pain,
He’s made it to her, and he’ll love her again.
In the quiet of mornin’, they’ll curl up tight,
Two cats in love, ‘neath the soft sunlight.
