In the dark of the night
A shadow looms large taking flight
A symbol of fear a name so renowned
Paper Tiger a word that's profound
There's a creature in the spotlight
Appearing fierce but lacking might
A facade of strength a hollow display
Paper Tiger here to sway
With a roar that sounds so grand
But beneath it there's no real land
Just a shell a guise a charade
Paper Tiger soon to fade
Paper Tiger you're not what you seem
All bark and no bite a false dream
In the face of truth you'll crumble and fall
Paper Tiger your reign will end all
People tremble at your sight
Thinking you're a force of might
But they'll see through your painted face
Realize your empty embrace
You strut around with pride
But it's all just for show inside
A paper wall a fragile state
Paper Tiger your fate is sealed
Paper Tiger you're not what you seem
All bark and no bite a false dream
In the face of truth you'll crumble and fall
Paper Tiger your reign will end all
The world will watch as you descend
From your high perch no more pretend
The truth will shine a blinding light
Exposing you a paper plight
Farewell Paper Tiger your time has passed
A memory now forever cast
In the annals of what could have been
But now just a faded dream
