The Wild Hunt

[Long instrumental opening — cold wind, distant synth, low pulse slowly becoming a galloping four-on-the-floor] I hear them in the distance Over the rooftops Through the trees A hundred horses Moving with one desire [Verse 1] Black against the winter moon Silver through the rain Riders on the open sky Calling out my name Dogs run underneath them Their eyes are red, bright I keep moving one last chance to stay alive [Pre-Chorus] Closer now Closer now My whole life is turning (so i keep running) [Chorus] **The Wild Hunt** Riding through the night **The Wild Hunt** Fire in the sky Horses running lungs are burning **The Wild Hunt** Coming into sight [Instrumental — bass and kick become huge] [Verse 2] Branches bend beneath them Clouds are recoiling too Red lights over distant fields Silver breaking blue I can feel the thunder Before the thunder comes The riders cross the darkness And the hooves becomes a drum [Pre-Chorus] Closer now Closer now Hear the grave calling beneath me [Chorus] **The Wild Hunt** Riding through the night **The Wild Hunt** Fire in the sky Horses running Hearts a beating **The Wild Hunt** Coming into sight [Bridge — everything drops except bass and distant voices] Hold on Hold on I left the porch light on Hold on Hold on There’s coffee on the stove I’m not trying to follow them I’m just standing at the glass Listening to the road wake up And letting this one pass [Huge instrumental build] I open up the window Cold air on my face The Hunt comes racing over me And disappears as quick as it came [Final chorus — ecstatic] **The Wild Hunt** Riding through the night **The Wild Hunt** Fire in the sky Horses running mind is fleeting **The Wild Hunt** Take me for the ride [Extended outro] Hooves in the darkness Wheels of light Dogs in the distance Running all night [Whispered] All night All night All night [Final enormous bass pulse] **The Wild Hunt**
