NIGHT OF THE HUNTER

You offered your love, you wanted our money

You led us down the path of milk and honey

You gave of your time, you showed us your soul

Too late to stop the damage to the hearts you stole

 

(CHORUS)

A crooked cross, a lying priest

The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast

The sun is setting in the east

You take the most and you give the least

 

Mama’s in her watery grave

The children pray their souls to save

Your life to Satan you gladly gave

Oh how to stop your vicious rage

 

(CHORUS)

A crooked cross, a lying priest

The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast

The sun is setting in the east

You take the most and you give the least

 

The people believe in what you tell

With blinders on they join the swell

You wear the mask of God so well

But your righteous path leads straight to hell

 

(CHORUS)

A crooked cross, a lying priest

The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast

The sun is setting in the east

You take the most and you give the least

 

You gave us pleasure, you gave us pain

You kicked us out the door into the rain

You break our bread and you break our spine

You drink our blood and you taste our wine

 

(CHORUS)

A crooked cross, a lying priest

The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast

The sun is setting in the east

You take the most and you give the least
