[Verse 1]
Lantern ash on my boots
Old blood staining the stone
Church bells choke in the distance
Every prayer turned to bone
Graveyard wind in my coat
Hunt mark burned in my hand
I walk alleys full of echoes
Where the beasts used to stand
[Chorus]
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Teeth on my throat
I still sing
Kneel in the flood of the altar
Let the red moon crown me king
(queen of the cursed, oh)
Swing ‘til the insight shatters
Eyes in the dark all awake
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Drinking the fear that I make
[Verse 2]
Old books whisper my name
Spiders dance in the choir
Statues watch from their coffins
Waiting out the pale fire
Moonlight cuts through the fog
Sanity hangs by a thread
Every step is a question
Am I saving them or dead?
[Chorus]
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Teeth on my throat
I still sing
Kneel in the flood of the altar
Let the red moon crown me king
(bleeding and blessed, yeah)
Swing ‘til the insight shatters
Eyes in the dark all awake
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Drinking the fear that I make
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown
Violin screaming over chugs]
Choir robes
Stitched skin
Caged sky breathing in
Crow wings
Cracked bells
Turn the city into hell
(Do you dream? do you dream?)
When the lullaby starts
(Do you wake? do you wake?)
With a blade through your heart
[Chorus]
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Teeth on my throat
I still sing
Kneel in the flood of the altar
Let the red moon crown me king
Swing ‘til the insight shatters
Eyes in the dark all awake
I am the hunter in Yharnam
Die
Resurrect
I return to the stake
(One more hunt)
