[Verse 1]

Rumors heard from a little black bird

The edges of a prophecy, the pieces I have learned

Said the daughter of the reaper has been searching for the keeper

And I fear she'll let me burn

Locked tight up in the tower on top

Of the domain of humanity, the godhood that I've earned

When you're holding on to majesty, you'd fear the hunt, a travesty

That balance may return


[Chorus]

When you're sinful to the bone, unholy

And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me

Wield power of your own making

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down

If you're something more than flesh, ascended

And you've taken on the rest to end it

Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down


[Verse 2]

Fear confined to the depths of my mind

For what could be such a threat to me, the conqueror of time

Yet the whispers of a reckoning have kept the spirits beckoning

To look upon my crime

Blood and war when the world is no more

She's been watching for a century with hatred and with scorn

If you know the hunter's coming, then you hide or keep on running

'Cause she's slain the gods before


[Chorus]

When you're sinful to the bone, unholy

And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me

Wield power of your own making

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down

If you're something more than flesh, ascended

And you've taken on the rest to end it

Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down


[Bridge]

Don't let her see your power in the daylight

Don't let her see it when you bring the storm

To the master of the eldritch, she's a growing bed of thorns

Dark cults, leaders of the night tell the tales of a fright

From a ghost of the future days

A holy crusade on the gods decayed

To end our violent ways

Lost kings, fallen in the mist, made their names on a list

And the hunt was carried through

A price for the past when your name is last

And the hunter comes for you


[Verse 3]

Of all the free, she has none left but me

And my loyal knights have passed with time

A god and a throne, locked up all alone

In the kingdom I called mine

Dreams of a being from the watcher unseen

Now he warned me she'll come to take his due

"The hate in your head, she has more," he said

"The godhunter waits for you"


[Chorus]

When you're sinful to the bone, unholy

And you've claimed yourself a throne, like me

Wield power of your own making

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down

If you're something more than flesh, ascended

And you've taken on the rest to end it

Then she'll find you in a dream, tormented

Godhunter's gonna hunt you down
