A heavy blade cuts through the dew
The morning air is sharp and new
Green vines wrap round a fallen tree
The wild land calls the hunter free
Bows are drawn and traps are set
A debt of blood is not paid yet
High above the mountains peak
The strongest find the truth they seek
Track the beast through the golden grass
Wait for the heavy thunder pass
Steel and bone in a deadly game
Writing out a hunter's name
Red scales glow in the humid heat
The forest floor feels the heavy beat
Iron claws tear the river bed
Where the ancient river ran red
Bows are drawn and traps are set
A debt of blood is not paid yet
High above the mountains peak
The strongest find the truth they seek
Track the beast through the golden grass
Wait for the heavy thunder pass
Steel and bone in a deadly game
Writing out a hunter's name
Silver fur in the winter frost
Counting all the brothers that were lost
One sharp strike in the freezing gale
Leaving behind a bloody trail
Track the beast through the golden grass
Wait for the heavy thunder pass
Steel and bone in a deadly game
Writing out a hunter's name
Heavy armor clinks with every stride
Nowhere left for the monster to hide
Black smoke rises from a jagged vent
The day of the great hunt is spent
Track the beast through the golden grass
Wait for the heavy thunder pass
Steel and bone in a deadly game
Writing out a hunter's name
Trophy horns on a wooden wall
The giants stand and the hunters fall
Rest your head by the cooking fire
Higher than the mountain spire
Track the beast through the golden grass
Wait for the heavy thunder pass
Steel and bone in a deadly game
Writing out a hunter's name
Cold steel, old stone.
The hunter walks home alone.
