Boots in the mud Breath in the frost Names of the fallen Count what it cost Steel in my hands Scars on my skin Every old wound Sworn to win This is the hymn of the hunter Sung in the shadow of teeth Where giants fall and the old gods thunder I carve my story in bone and in beast Raise up the roar like a banner Fear is a fire I feed This is the hymn of the hunter And the wild will bleed for me Tracks in the ash Claw marks on stone Follow the silence Far from the known Eyes in the dark Circle and glide I walk the border You cannot hide Teeth like stone in a scattered ring Bones half-buried A broken king I breathe once Let the terror speak Then I aim for the softest weak This is the hymn of the hunter Blood in the dust Eyes on the thunder I walk where the wild hearts break I stand where the great jaws wake Raise up the hymn of the hunter Name every fear Drag it under I sing so the beasts know my name I sing as I enter the flame One breath One step Draw Release And remember Old oaths Cold sweat Burning like smoldering ember (oh) This is the hymn of the hunter Sung in the shadow of teeth Where giants fall and the old gods thunder I carve my story in bone and in beast Raise up the roar like a banner Head in the dust at my feet This is the hymn of the hunter As the wild surrenders to me
