Hunter

Hunter

I'm laid out on the forest floor

Arrows in my back and sides

Down among the leaves and stones

You can wear my skin as armor

You can eat my flesh and bones

Leave nothing that is needed

All I have is yours

And I'll give myself up to your sharpened edges

I no longer cling to my life

Yes

I'm finally giving in

Teeth and hate end our relationship

Of course it's sad

but that's the way it is

Your violence always wins the day

Yes

your violence wins

And I'll give myself up to your sharpened edges

I no longer cling to my life

Yes

I'm finally giving in

Oh

and you watch as the animals

Lay themselves

Down at your feet

A thousand bared teeth

A thousand bowed heads

Yes

they're begging you for death

The Hunter does us all a great service

And we've done so much to deserve it
