Hunter's kiss

It's a sad story about a dear and a man
A romantic scene from a lullaby
In a clearing green, where his eyes met mine
I was frozen motion, oh his bow was raised
Then the fleeting notion that my life he'd save

But I saw it coming, flying through the air
Feathered backside humming, miss me, hit me where
Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound
Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon

I have never been like this before
Felt my body sinking to the grassy floor
I have never known a love like this
Felt the flaming arrows of the hunter's kiss

My life is not mine
Like a dog or a wife
He has taken his time
He has taken my life

I could see the steaming of his cloudy breath
No, I was not dreaming
I was next to death
As I lay there twitching, then my legs he tied
There was nothing missing on the day I died

I have never been like this before
Felt my body sinking to the grassy floor
I have never known a love like this
Felt the flaming arrows of the hunter's kiss

No, I have never felt like this before
Never felt my body sinking to the grassy floor
No, I have never known a love like this
Never felt the flaming arrows of the hunter's kiss
