Tonight, we Outlanders will feast! Hyena and vultures alike! Tonight we strike.

Janja, The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar

Tonight We Strike is a song featured in The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, performed by Janja's Clan and Mzingo.

After hearing of a new Lion Guard, they quickly conjure up a scheme that will stop the new Guard before they are ready to take on their duties.

Lyrics[]

Janja:
When you live in the Outlands
It's better to make your own rules
Ask anyone outside the Pride Lands
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
Mzingo:
Or tell us to stay in the trees
Hyenas:
No!
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
Janja:
So before this new Guard is ready
To defend the Pride Lands from harm
We'll make them all feel unsteady
We'll give them cause for alarm
Hyenas:
Yeah!
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
Janja (spoken):
All right fellas, bring it in
Here's the plan
Janja:
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
Hyenas: Aah!
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
(Repeat one time)
Janja:
Tonight we strike!
Nobody is safe!
Janja and Hyenas:
The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite
Tonight we strike
Tonight we STRIKE!
