I hauled myself up out of a ditch
And built me an ark out of gopher wood and pitch
Sat down by the road side and waited on the rain
I am the hunter of invisible game
Well I woke last night to the heavy clicking and clack
And a scarecrow on fire along the railroad tracks
There were empty cities and burning plains
I am the hunter of invisible game
We all come up a little short and we go down hard
These days I spend my time skipping through the dark
Through the empires of dust I chant your name
I am the hunter of invisible game
Through the bone yard we rattled and black smoke we rolled
on
Down into the valley where the beast has his throne
I sing my song and I sharpen my blade
I am the hunter of invisible game
Strength is vanity and time is illusion
I feel you breathing, the rest is confusion
Your skin touches mine, what else to explain?
I am the hunter of invisible game
Now pray for yourself something may not fall
When the hour of deliverance comes on us all
When high hope and faith and courage and trust
Can rise or vanish like dust and dust
Now there’s a kingdom of love waiting to be reclaimed
I am the hunter of invisible game
I am the hunter of invisible game
I am the hunter of invisible game
