Godhunter

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 fear the hunt, a travesty
That balance may return

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

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

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

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

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"

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
