about

Track 6 off of Demons, a concept album themed around the Seven Deadly Sins. The Hunter is the song for greed.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Break down the doors and
Take all my hands can hold
Today I’m born
I’m hungry
I’m alive

I’m calm and sober
And I won’t sit when I’m told
I’m taking over
Honey, I’ve arrived

[Pre-Chorus]
Not asking for permission
Waste no time, nobody’s giving

[Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up and run
Don’t hold back
No rest until
The whole damn world’s behind me

Be a lion, be a loaded gun
And don’t hesitate to kill
The hunter will define me

[Verse 2]
I’ve played the game and
I found no reason or truth
And it keeps changing
So fuck it, I will too

I’m done with playing
Under meaningless rules
The war is waging
Nothing left to choose

[Pre-Chorus]
Not asking for permission
Waste no time, nobody’s giving

[Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up and run
Don’t hold back
No rest until
The whole damn world’s behind me

Be a lion, be a loaded gun
And don’t hesitate to kill
The hunter will define me

[Bridge]
I held my breath and waited
For an inch of space
I suffocated when
No invitation came

Nobody wants you
When nobody knows your name
So let’s get acquainted baby
Call me Damien James (hey)

[Chorus]
Pick it up, pick it up and run
Don’t hold back
No rest until
The whole damn world’s behind me

Be a lion, be a loaded gun
And don’t hesitate to kill
The hunter will define me

Pick it up, pick it up and run
(I held my)
Don’t hold back
(Breath and waited)
No rest until
(For an inch)
The whole damn world’s behind me
(Of space)

Be a lion, be a loaded gun
(I suffocated)
And don’t hesitate to kill
(When no invitation)
The hunter will define me
(Came)

Pick it up, pick it up and run
(Nobody)
Don’t hold back
(Wants you when)
No rest until
(Nobody knows)
The whole damn world’s behind me
(Your name)

Be a lion, be a loaded gun
(So let’s get)
And don’t hesitate to kill
(Acquainted baby)
The hunter will define me
(Call me Damien James)
Ayy-ayy
