For Life And Liberty - Falconer

The four hooves echo in the night

Pictures of deepest fear reflect in your eyes

Like a fire in your soul

Burst through the forest of the wild

The full moon beholds from it’s starlit sky

This journey without goal

The hunt twists and turns

Winding through the dark

The flame of intensity burns

Higher and higher and higher

The hooves are pounding in the dark

Splitting the silence of the night

Do you smell the cruel desire?

Your paws are pounding with your heart

Pounding for life and liberty

As the steam is rising higher

Inside the forest oh so deep

The creatures of the night watch intensively

This hunt that flashes them by

Will you escape or will you bleed?

The hunter’s at your tail, he calls for victory

With hunger in his eyes

As the welkin embraces his stars

To a shimmering nightly play

The arch-enemy of man

Is once more prey
