in which our victim, searching beneath the sea for a fabled treasure, has left his body behind on the shore, fully exposed to danger.
lyrics
open: one man, standing, staring.
truth and lies mean nothing in the face of temptation that's too great.
now he stares at the sun, dead-eyed, walking on in mind alone.
sun is climbing higher as he walks beneath the surface
hunting for an answer he might never find.
death is drawing nearer every second he goes deeper.
leaving out his body just might cost his mind.
now is the hour, awaken the hunter. rise, rise, hunter.
paths of money, paths of gold, all lead to death, this i know
paths in ocean, paths in flame, lead to death, it's all the same.
and if he's gonna walk that path he might as well be dead.
rise, hunter: a mass of shadows begins to creep.
temptation: all obscured but the fangs.
you know their faces, not their names,
but the scent of cowards is always the same
now consume the body totally,
as his soul lies waiting 'neath the sea.
I AM THE HUNTER. I WILL CONSUME ALL FLESH.
NOW I'VE AWAKENED. NOTHING WILL HOLD ME BACK.
rise, rise! now is the hour!
hunter! awaken the hunter!
