The rain was dripping off the leaves Cold and damp As they sneaked up on it Like thieves In the night Pounding hearts and faint starlight He melts into the tree The chameleon Activating his natural cloak Of invisibility He sees and feels them all Senses their fear It's exciting Exhilarating He's a predator in his element Being hunted and hunting It was larger this posse This crowd of inferior avengers Powered by loathing, anger, and ignorance In their pursuit off the alien paladin One by one they went down Headless Bloodied To the soft, frigid ground Yet they press on With their foolhardy pursuit of Lacerta's spawn It's a sport for the reptile A deadly game for them He's harvesting trophies For a collection grim Faint sounds… They have encircled their prey Closing for the kill Every dog gets his day He melts into the tree Shadows his way around A natural feel for the night Reaches out with the blades A swift silent bite Another head in the bag Another human life lost For the wall another stag And he moves on deliberately As the darkness erupts in chaos They'll mourn the loss and keep coming Could've had them all right there Not as much fun Not as much fear It's a long way From here to the morning Stronger Faster Smarter And… Bloodthirsty Who's going stop me? Times change Places change Technology changes Things get better Things get worst Everything and nothing is the same I yearn for the sport I miss the game The joy of the kill Striking at will It's still in me 2003 New York City My sanguinary History… Reptiles are naturally Bloodthirsty The rain was dripping off the leaves Blood Sport It never grows old... |
