The Hunter Lyrics
GTR
Lyrics
It don't come easy that's understood
Faint hearted loser that's no good
Just take a lesson from the great Mohammed
He said... He said...
Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
If you believe, you can't go wrong,
I said... I said... Listen
He's a fighter, he's my friend
Always winning in the end,
He's no angel, he's no fool,
Never plays it by the rule,
Take the glory, steal the prize,
Only the hunter, only the hunter
You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure is hard to hide
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road
Remember?...
He's a rival, he's my friend
Always winning in the end,
He's a tiger, he's a swan,
He's the one I'm counting on,
To take the glory, steal the prize,
Only the hunter, only the hunter
Survives
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in,
Through the lenses then into film,
I've got the target set in my sights,
I see a vision of truth,
Look out...
We're gonna fight until we drop,
We're gonna get back to the top,
We're gonna be the first in line,
Winners till the end of time
Only the hunter, only the hunter,
Survives
