the hunted lyrics

I'm hiding in my secret place
Built up in my mind
Searching for the rest that I can never find
My wrists held with metal
Shackled to the floor
Torture like this I've never seen before
I dream about revenge
And how sweet it will be
When you're locked up in this cage
Staring back at me
The colors fade to black darker than my sin
I cannot give up now I cannot just give in
I'm wrestling with a beast
I cannot see his face
He spits on me and does not care
He puts me in my place
His dictatorship is vile
His kingdom built on pain
Pure evil poured on everyone
Is how he plays his game

Psychotic, deranged, crazy, insane
Poke me with a stick I'm locked up in this tiny cage
You have me I'm yours treat me how you will
With hate and fear until emotion I don't feel
You bellow and laugh, turn your head away
And with a snap of the chains
Now you become the prey
The shifting of your eyes
The shadows my disguise
Stumbling while you run
But you can never hide
The terror begins, the hunt is on
The tables seemed to turn
I hear the scary song
Or is it just the score
Of this movie gone astray
You've had my soul on layaway
And now you're gonna pay

Darkness and evil surround me
As the hunt begins
Good vs. evil
Me and you round one of Armageddon
I'm coming your way so hurry
Releasing GodÕs fury
One Judge no jury
Your demise you'll meet so worry
My sworn enemy by any means I'm gonna Bring you Representing heaven
In this life or death game
Maintain my cool though
My heart's like an engine
You had your turn now it's time for mine, Revenge and Rage controls my body
Your tears are running down
But it is only fitting that
You're the hunted now
So I'll hunt you down with the
Wrath of God within me
Not here to take your life
Though you can give it up freely
Hear me in the night as I make you go insane
As my non-stop chantin' starts
To seep into your brain

Dear God, I beg for mercy
On the souls that tortured me
I ask that they be shown
The grace that You've shown me

The end is upon you
I'll release my anger on you
I'll destroy you then you will know that
I am the LORD!

For decades and decades
You've hunted us down
Body count rising or descending to the ground
The concrete jungle closes
The silence surrounds
The only thing heard is
Your heart as it pounds
Sweat pours from your skull
Afraid to turn around
Looking over your shoulder
What was that sound?
Sick of it all no more you can take
The running's slowed down
Your spines about to break
My sights lined up you don't have a clue
Should I make my move, what should I do?
The chase is almost done
The oppression forgot
Iove escaped with my life by the grace of God.
