Night of the Hunter |
It’s the night of the hunter |
It’s the night of the long knives |
It’s the night of the hunter |
And you can justify all you like |
Sleep tight, this snowy night |
For spring, you will never see again |
Say goodbye to your awful wives |
Bid farewell to your awful friends |
I’m twenty steps from the jugular |
I’m twenty steps from the death |
I’m twenty steps from the funeral |
I’m twenty steps from your last breath |
The shadow falls on the abbatoir gates |
As you leave with the stench on your hands |
I am here with a cigarette bait |
I am here to asphyxiate |
It’s the night of the hunter |
It’s the night of the long knives |
It’s the night of the hunter |
And you can justify all you like |
The laugh you spew on this landscape |
As you erase it of the gentle hare |
Will be your last on this landscape |
Will be your last anywhere |
Matador, bear baiter, |
Butcher, hare courser |
Value your life while you can |
