I hauled myself up out of the ditch And built me an ark of gopher wood and pitch Sat down by the roadside and waited on the rain I am the hunter of invisible game
Well I awoke last night to the heavy clickin' and clack And a scarecrow on fire 'long the railroad tracks There were empty cities and burnin' plains I am the hunter of invisible game
We all come up a little short and we go down hard These days I spend my time skipping through the dark Through the empires of dust, I chant your name I am the hunter of invisible game
Through the bone yard rattle and black smoke, we rolled on Down into the valley, where the beast has his throne There I sing my song and I sharpen my blade I am the hunter of invisible game
Strength is vanity and time is illusion I feel you breathin', the rest is confusion Your skin touches mine, what else to explain I am the hunter of invisible game
Now pray for yourself that you may not fall When the hour of deliverance comes on us all When our hope and faith and courage and trust Can rise or vanish like dust into dust There's a kingdom of love waiting to be reclaimed I am the hunter of invisible game
I am the hunter of invisible game I am the hunter of invisible game
