The Hunter
Winterlong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Running into the dead of night
I can sense the power thrill
Rushing through my veins
Red lights warning you
I'm dangerous man
Can you feel the sweat?
Can you feel the heat?
I am your nightmares
I am your darkest fear
And I'm hunter huntin'
And I'm getting nearer
Yes I'm the hunter
Haunting you

I am the lonely hunter
Like a wolfy to the moon
A little crazy screaming out your name
Run run, you better run now
Two ice blue cold starring in from the dark
Can you see me yet?
Can you fell my heat?

Lustful play a lovely game
You're my pray tonight I want you
I breathe on you, I'll feed on you
You know before this night is through
You'll bleed from me, I'll bleed for you
You know it's true and you know I am for real

I am the hunter

Lustful play a lovely game
You're my pray tonight I want you
I breathe on you, I'll feed on you
You know before this night is through




You'll bleed from me, I'll bleed for you
You know it's true and you know I am for real
