The Hunt Lyrics

I've been running through the woods, so far away from home

Ahead the trees are glowing ice, and moonlit bone

Hounds are coming after me, gonna chew off my face

I'm so tired of trying to escape

So I run to the shadow and into the wood

I don't know if it'll do any good

They're gonna catch me if I fall

Ain't got nothin' here at all to shelter me

I remember when it started, they were marching in the street

Wielding swords and arrows and a fearful yellow streak

Somebody said something that the other didn't like

In the end it made no difference who was wrong or who was right

They went charging into battle with The Misunderstood

Was like fighting with a shadow in the middle of the wood

And when I heard the footsteps I dare not make a sound

But they picked up on my scent and ran me out of town

They're hunting me down

I don't make a sound

They're hunting me down

Once upon a time in a land that's far away

I had me a lover who I sculpted out of clay

Every single curve and every labored breath

Melted back into my soul as he held me to his breast

And I think about our children who never have been born

Protected from the sorrow in their hearts from taking form

Now I hear the hounds approaching, my time is running out

As they sound out to the hunters and I know that I've been found

They're hunting me down

I don't make a sound

Now they're hunting me down

Ooooooh I'm going down

They're hunting me down

I don't make a sound

They're hunting me down

They're hunting me down

They're hunting me down

I didn't make a sound

They hunted me down
