The Hunter Lyrics by Royal

Heart of Shadows

2018

[VERSE]
I can taste the poison running through my veins
Part of your destruction, toxic in every way
Ruin me with your lips, suffocate by taste
They say I won't listen, but I've no choice to take

[HOOK]
You've enveloped all of me now
And I can hardly take
Knowing I should run now
But my feet only shake

[Chorus]
Moonlight, cover my tracks
If he can't find me there's no way he can ever bring me back
Moonlight, help me fast
Don't stop running now or else he's going to come and take you back
Oh, oh
The hunter's on his way

[VERSE 2]
I can hear your footsteps
Getting closer now
Lurking through the shadows
Expecting me to bow
I've been fooled by you too many times before
Time to break the record
I know you're keeping score

[HOOK]
You've enveloped all of me now
And I can hardly take
Knowing I should run now
But my feet only shake

[Chorus]
Moonlight, cover my tracks
If he can't find me there's no way he can ever bring me back
Moonlight, help me fast
Don't stop running now or else he's going to come and take you back
Oh, oh
The hunter's on his way

[BRIDGE]
You won't catch me
Watch me run now
Hide and seek is way less fun now
Moonlight, cover up my footsteps
I won't go back
I won't give in

[Chorus]
Moonlight, cover my tracks
If he can't find me there's no way he can ever bring me back
Moonlight, help me fast
Don't stop running now or else he's going to come and take you back
Oh, oh
The hunter's on his way
