The Hunter

From dust till dawn the hunt is on, I'm seeking prey.
An endless cycle, same old story different day.

I try to stop what I'm doing.
But nothing else matters to me.
No longer seem to be human.
I only live for hunting.
 
A hunger calls to me and courses through my veins.
It takes control and then lets chaos take the reins.
 
An endless day full of needing, of constant torment and pain.
But it all ends at the feeding and the voice is silent again.
While they’re down there and bleeding, my guilt rises up to the light.
But I can't hear all their pleading, why can't I do what's right.

Now once upon a time, my life like yours was fine.
Until the siren song pushed free will to the side.
Nightfall is here again.  When will this nightmare end
The craving starts, obsession wins, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

I hunt the streets and alleys, there's nowhere that's safe
So pack your loved ones and don't be the one that's brave.

Why can't I stop what I'm doing, nothing else matters to me.
No longer seem to be human; the voices are calling to me.
An endless day full of needing; of constant torment and pain.
But it all ends at the feeding.
