lyrics
Lonesome, leather and tweed
Wounded down among the autumn weeds
Lost comfort in a fading dream
When the hunter calls for you
You answer slow
You know it’s just your given role
You were born to lose
As a cold wind wanders through
Forged steel carves the woodland night
Lost shadows dance in the ancient lantern light
For one to make it, another has to die
To sacrifice
When the hunter comes for you
You crawl below
But you know it’s just your given role
Not yours to choose
Tonight, under the cold blood moon
He said he’d love you
You were his rose
Forever bonded, it’s you he chose
And you surrendered with both eyes closed
Your eyes were closed.
When the hunter calls for you
You answer slow
But you know it’s just your given role
You were born to lose
And you wonder if he’ll remember you
Wonder if he’ll remember you…
Wounded down among the autumn weeds
Lost comfort in a fading dream
When the hunter calls for you
You answer slow
You know it’s just your given role
You were born to lose
As a cold wind wanders through
Forged steel carves the woodland night
Lost shadows dance in the ancient lantern light
For one to make it, another has to die
To sacrifice
When the hunter comes for you
You crawl below
But you know it’s just your given role
Not yours to choose
Tonight, under the cold blood moon
He said he’d love you
You were his rose
Forever bonded, it’s you he chose
And you surrendered with both eyes closed
Your eyes were closed.
When the hunter calls for you
You answer slow
But you know it’s just your given role
You were born to lose
And you wonder if he’ll remember you
Wonder if he’ll remember you…
