hunter

What was it that stayed my hand then?
With dagger held unsheathed
Blade pointing in its side
I'd been set upon by a predator
It was just looking for a meal
I saw ribs and fearful eyes

What is it that stays my hand now?
With so much misery, that I could mercifully put end to
For that animal I let slink off
Into the undergrowth, unscathed
Do I not fear death, but just pretend to?

For it was starving, it was hungry
But had eyes too close to let me
If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already

Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Plagued by phantom noises
That that skeletal beast
Was haunting all my steps
Questioning all my choices
With that dagger held unsheathed
I felt sick at my contempt

For you were lonely
You were like me
Like some outside force had sent me
If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already

Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah
Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

You are at my feet
We're by the fire
You're a gentle beast
And I'm alive
You are at my feet
We're by the fire
You're a gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive

You are at my feet
And we're by the fire
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive

You are at my feet
And we're by the fire
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive

You are at my feet, we're by the fire
(Ba-da-da-ah
Ah-ah, ah)
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive
(Da-da-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah)
You are at my feet, we're by the fire
(Like an outside force had sent me?)
You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive
(If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already
