Godhunter lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rumors heard from a little black bird
The edges of a prophecy, the pieces I have learned
Said the daughter of the reaper has been searching for the keeper
And I fear she'll let me burn
Locked tight up in the tower on top
Of the domain of humanity, the godhood that I've earned
When you're holding on to majesty, you'd fear the hunt, a travesty
That balance may return

[Chorus]
When you're sinful to the bone, unholy
And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me
Wield power of your own making
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down
If you're something more than flesh, ascended
And you've taken on the rest to end it
Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down

[Verse 2]
Fear confined to the depths of my mind
For what could be such a threat to me, the conqueror of time
Yet the whispers of a reckoning have kept the spirits beckoning
To look upon my crime
Blood and war when the world is no more
She's been watching for a century with hatred and with scorn
If you know the hunter's coming, then you hide or keep on running
'Cause she's slain the gods before
[Chorus]
When you're sinful to the bone, unholy
And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me
Wield power of your own making
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down
If you're something more than flesh, ascended
And you've taken on the rest to end it
Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down

[Bridge]
Don't let her see your power in the daylight
Don't let her see it when you bring the storm
To the master of the eldritch, she's a growing bed of thorns
Dark cults, leaders of the night tell the tales of a fright
From a ghost of the future days
A holy crusade on the gods decayed
To end our violent ways
Lost kings, fallen in the mist made their names on a list
And the hunt was carried through
A price for the past when your name is last
And the hunter comes for you

[Verse 3]
Of all the free, she has none left but me
And my loyal knights have passed with time
A god and a throne, locked up all alone
In the kingdom I called mine
Dreams of a being from the watcher unseen
Now he warned me she'll come to take his due
"The hate in your head, she has more," he said
"The godhunter waits for you"
[Chorus]
When you're sinful to the bone, unholy
And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me
Wield power of your own making
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down
If you're something more than flesh, ascended
And you've taken on the rest to end it
Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented
Godhunter's gonna hunt you down
