lyrics

I've been running through the woods, so far away from home
Ahead the trees are glowing ice, and moonlit bone
Hounds are coming after me, gonna chew off my face
I'm so tired of trying to escape

So I run to the shadow and into the wood
I don't know if it'll do any good
They're gonna catch me if I fall
Ain't got nothin' here at all to shelter me

I remember when it started, they were marching in the street
Wielding swords and arrows and a fearful yellow streak
Somebody said something that the other didn't like
In the end it made no difference who was wrong or who was right

They went charging into battle with The Misunderstood
Was like fighting with a shadow in the middle of the wood
And when I heard the footsteps I dare not make a sound
But they picked up on my scent and ran me out of town

They're hunting me down
I don't make a sound
They're hunting me down

Once upon a time in a land that's far away
I had me a lover who I sculpted out of clay
Every single curve and every labored breath
Melted back into my soul as he held me to his breast

And I think about our children who never have been born
Protected from the sorrow in their hearts from taking form
Now I hear the hounds approaching, my time is running out
As they sound out to the hunters and I know that I've been found

They're hunting me down
I don't make a sound
Now they're hunting me down

Ooooooh I'm going down
They're hunting me down
I don't make a sound
They're hunting me down
They're hunting me down
They're hunting me down
I didn't make a sound
They hunted me down
