father, where's my gun?
i hear the hunt has begun
so let me go it alone
i need no one
i need no one
but, oh, god, now here it comes
and it's too dark to aim the gun
the clicking gets faster, faster, faster
once again i'm on the run
and i hear you say, oh, my stubborn son
i know that you said you need no one
but you're in danger, danger, danger
headed to oblivion
well, i followed the hunt fast as i could
through many weathers into this wood
took one shot in the dark
with a silver bullet, silver through heart
and now, god, oh, here it comes
and it's too dark to aim the gun
the clicking gets faster, faster, faster
once again i'm on the run
and i hear you say, oh, my stubborn son,
i know that you said you need no one
but you're in danger, danger, danger
headed to oblivion
but wait one second, father
i didn't come this far
for it to end like this
i'm gonna take this darkness and split it wide open
illuminate all shadows above and beyond
above and beyond
and my enemies show their face, face to me
show your face to me
show your face to me
be you my friend or enemy
show your face to me
i do not fear the darkness
i do not fear the darkness
i do not fear no more
oblivion
oblivion
oblivion
