Hand of the Hunter Songtext
von Michael McDermott

There′s tethers of truth, tongues telling lies
Cracks in the colors of your bloodstained eyes
The wolves are dancing in sheep's disguise
And their presence is very unnerving
Backfi ring engines in fi elds full of knowing
There′s blood in the dirt with the seeds you're sowing
Are you aware of the gifts your gods are bestowing
Even though you feel undeserving
You're standing in line, waiting for rations
Like Jericho, the walls down came a-crashing
Stiletto the sounds, the lights all a-fl ashing
Do you bow to the one that you′re serving
Are you free from the Hand of the Hunter
Are you free from the Hand of the Hunter
Are you free
There′s many hills to climb, many rivers to cross
And if you're not careful, boy, you′re bound to get
Lost
You might not have a dime, but you'll cover the cost
Or you′ll dance in the circles of sorrow


Meanwhile, alone, far across town
Judy laid her newborn baby down
She said "It's hard to fl y when you′re chained to the
Ground
Anybody got some wings I could borrow?"
And I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I′ll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I′ll be free
The ghost of Michelangelo
They carved me from my world of stone
Listening to a fading fi re
Is it true, they say, all dreams one day expire
I believe it
Succulent sermons sung from the sun
Broken descendants are out on the run
The art of war, it has only begun
The silence is rolling like thunder
Spilling like wine, the healing was landing
Our only bastion was our understanding
With my fi st in the air, the winds I was commanding
Free from the spell I was under
The hostages of iniquity
Were put on display for all to see
The chosen tongue, the communion of three
Left everyone dazzled in wonder
I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I′ll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I′ll be free
I believe it
I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I′ll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I'll be free from the Hand of the Hunter
I'll be free
I believe it
I believe it
Sing a song, sing a song of freedom
Sing a song, sing a song of freedom
Sing a song, sing a song of freedom
Sing a song, sing a song of freedom
