The Hunted

I'm hiding in my secret place built up in my mind

Searching for the rest that I can never find.

My wrists held with metal shackled to the floor

Torture like this, I've never seen before

I dream about revenge and how sweet it will be

when you're locked up in this cage staring back at me

The colors fade to black, darker than my sin

I cannot give up now, I cannot just give in

I'm wrestling with a beast, I cannot see his face

he spits on me and does not care he puts me in my place

his dictatorship is vile, his kingdom built on pain

pure evil poured on everyone is how he plays his game

You become the hunted

Psychotic, deranged, crazy, insane

poke me with a stick I'm locked up in this tiny cage

You have me I'm yours treat me how you will

with hate and fear until emotion I don't feel

You bellow and laugh and turn your head away

and with the snap of the chains now you become the prey

The shifting of your eyes, shadows my disguise

stumbling while you run, but you can never hide

The terror begins, the hunt is on

the tables seem to turn, I hear the scary song

Or is it just a score of this movie gone astray

you've had my soul on layaway and now you're gonna pay

You become the hunted

Darkness and evil surrounds me as the hunt begins

good vs. evil me and you round one of armageadon

I'm coming your way so hurry, releasing God's fury

One judge no jury your demise you'll meet don't worry

my sworn enemy by any means I'm gonna bring you pain

representing heaven in this life or death game

maintain my cool though my heart's pumpin like an engine

You've had your turn, now it's time for mine

revenge and rage controls my body, your tears are running down

now it is only fitting that you're the hunted now

So I hunt you down with the wrath of God within me

not here to take your life, but you can give it up freely

Hear me in the night as I makes you go insane

and my nonstop chantin' starts to seep into your brain

Dear God I beg for mercy on the souls that tortured me

I ask that they be shown the grace that you've shown me

The end is upon you I release my anger on you

I'll destroy you and you will know that I am the LORD

For decades and decades, you've hunted us down

body count rising or descending to the ground

The concrete jungle closes the silence surrounds

The only thing heard is your heart as it pounds

Sweat pours from your skull, afraid to turn around

Looking over your shoulder what was that sound

Sick of it all no more you can take

The running's slowed down, your spines about to break

My sights lined up, you don't have a clue

Should I make my move, what should I do?

The chase is almost done, the oppression forgot

I've escaped with my life by the grace of God

You become the hunted
