Lyrics

Making hay while the sun shines
That’s all that I’ve been doing
Like a travelling assassin
I hunt from town to town
Where I lay my gun that’s my home

The quarry's calling to me
And the scent that leads the way
I’ve the heart of every hunter
Just looking for its prey
I found you in the jungle
Of this tangled angry brain
I take my time and I take my prize
And I turn the other way

You're the author of your misery
When you joined me for the feast
I’m the master of your destiny
The latest victim of the beast

And the quarry’s calling to me
When the dogs come out to play
I’ve the heart of every killer
I’m looking for my prey
I found you in the city
Where dreamers lose their way
I take my time and I take my prize
Then I turn the other way

I raise my eyes to the heavens
But only the stars
They look down
Look down on me
I raise my eyes to the heavens
But only the stars
They look down
Look down on me

And the quarry’s calling my name
And the scent that leads my way
I’ve the heart of every hunter
I’m living for each day
I found you by the river
Washing all the sins away
I took the gold and you took my soul
You turned my cries away
Yes I took the gold and you took my soul
You turned my cries away
Yes I took the gold and you took my soul
You turned the other way....
