The Hunter
Firespawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Most citizens are still asleep but two of them will never be found
Desperate cry echoes throughout the campus
Bloodsmear on the walls, victims fear is his canvas
Nomad, Drifter, Roamer, Protagonist
His love for young female flesh
One by one young girls disappear in the night
He takes them away to his lustfilled rite
Life of the lambs are stolen without a trace
The wolf sharpens his teeth to manifest his grace
Sculptor, Painter, Artist, Performer
36 souls of teenage girls he stole
Desire to cut their tongues was nothing he could control
Through the electric chair he finally came home
In the fiery pits of hell he has his dome
Hangman, Ripper, Butcher, Escapologist
Theodore Bundy! Theodore Bundy!
The lyrics to Firespawn's song The Hunter start with a description of a small Midwestern town at the dawn of a new day. The scene is peaceful, and most people are still asleep. However, something sinister has happened. The lyrics suggest that two people have disappeared, leaving a desperate cry echoing through the campus. The walls are smeared with blood, and the victims' fear has become the killer's canvas. The songs go on to say that this killer is a nomad, drifter, roamer, and protagonist who has an obsession with young female flesh. He takes them away to his lust-filled rite, leaving no trace behind.
The lyrics describe how he has stolen 36 souls of teenage girls, and how he desires to cut their tongues, which he cannot control. The killer is referred to as a sculptor, painter, artist, and performer, who sharpens his teeth to manifest his grace. The song comes to its conclusion with the killer's death in the electric chair, and it is suggested that he has gone to the fiery pits of hell.
The song is a harrowing but vivid depiction of the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy. The lyrics paint a picture of his horrific crimes and the darkness within his soul. The song is a warning to all those who would take the path of evil and become a monster, that they will be caught and punished for their deeds. The Hunter is a chilling and powerful song that stays with the listener long after it has ended.
