Hunter Lyrics

I don't know what it means

To sing anymore

I've come before

What every line was cast out for

The silent pearl of the deep

And all the angels that I tried to please

Now are telling me

Just shut up, you've done enough

Time in the bars and on the street

So come and hold the peace

You've yearned for, my child

If they can't hear us by now

They never will

It wasn't about them anyway

So set yourself free

And so I ran the the holy mountain

Or so she ran to me

And all was still and quiet

'Til those gunshots did ring

I watched the fire grow

'Til there was no world left to burn

And I broke my vow of silence

Just to weep

I don't know how to love

Another's body now

I've come before the well that

Fills each heart with blood

I cannot drink from your little cup

And every hand I held

Each chain I prayed so hard to break

Now are seen undone

The closest thing to security

You get to dream

In the lonesome valley here below

Where everything is made

Out of rust and weeds

And they'll lock you up

If you feel the need

To set yourself free

And so I ran the the holy mountain

Or so she ran to me

And all was still and quiet

'Till those gunshots did ring

I watched the fire grow

'Till there was no world left to burn

And I broke my vow of silence

Just to weep

I still don't know what it means

Or what light I was expecting to see

But one day I pray

With death I'll finally make my peace

For I was that hunter

And I was hunting a part of me

I was born a lion, but came to die a sheep

I was born a lion, but came to die a sheep

I was born a lion, now let me lie in peace
