[Intro]
(Hee-hee!)
(Ooh!)
[sharp intake of breath]
*(Extended intro: heavy syncopated drum machine beat builds with a slicing rock guitar riff)*
(Hoo!)
(Come on!)

**[Verse 1]**
[soft breathy gasp] They came with arrows in the dead of night
They tore the wings, they put the fire out of sight
Deep in the mountain where the shadows bleed
They sowed the sorrow, now they reap the seed
They built their towers on a stolen crown
But what goes up, you know it must come down! (Hoo!)

**[Verse 2]**
[sharp gasp] I see the king shivering upon his throne
He thinks the gold can save his skin and bone
But gold will melt when the breath turns hot
You can't erase the battle that you fought
You chased the legend just to feel the thrill
Now look who's standing at the top of the hill! (Ooh!)

**[Pre-Chorus]**
They call me monster, they call me the beast
But they were the ones who invited the feast
[rhythmic vocal hiccup] The stone will shatter and the iron will break
You’re gonna tremble from the promise I make!
(Ow!)

**[Chorus]**
This is the reckoning! (Hee-hee!)
You drew the blood, now the fire's awakening!
No place to hide behind your castle walls
Tonight the hunter falls!
(Hoo!)
Tonight the hunter falls!

**[Verse 3]**
[breath] The banners fly but they are turning black
There is no armor that can hold me back
You took my freedom for a trophy piece
Now there’s a fury that you can’t appease
The iron gates are gonna bend and groan
Tonight you pay for every seed you’ve sown! (Hoo! Break it down!)

**[Chorus]**
This is the reckoning! (Hee-hee!)
You drew the blood, now the fire's awakening!
No place to hide behind your castle walls
Tonight the hunter falls!
Tonight the hunter falls!

**[Guitar Solo]**
*(Blistering, aggressive 1980s hard rock guitar solo over a funky, driving bassline)*
(Hoo! Hit me!)
(Hee-hee!)
(Chuka-chuka-chuka-ow!)

**[Bridge]**
[intimate breathy delivery]
Smoke in the courtyard, ash on the floor...
You should have left me behind the mountain door.
Now the sky is burning red...
Remember every single word I said.
(Don't you look back!)
(YEAH! HOO!)

**[Chorus]**
This is the reckoning! (Hee-hee!)
You drew the blood, now the fire's awakening!
No place to hide behind your castle walls
Tonight the hunter falls!

**[Outro]**
Tonight the hunter falls! (Hoo!)
You gotta run, you gotta hide!
(Hee-hee!)
The fire's on the inside!
(Chuka-chuka-ow!)
[sharp intake of breath]
(You brought the fire!)
(Ow!)
*(Guitar riff fades out with a final rhythmic gasp"
