Heretic Hunters Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
In the sign of the sacrament
On the banner of thorns
On the seventh of days in the Bible, we are born
Break the heart of a reverend
On a sabbath at dawn
On the final of days, not a God came to forewarn
Venomous, feverous, force us to run
We are credulous, ominous, thy kingdom come
One, one, one with the pyres at dawn
[Chorus]
We are the heretic hunters tonight
We are the heretic hunters for life
By the hand of our belief
And the harvest of the night
Hand up for heretic life
[Verse 2]
We are sons of the wilderness
By the sound of the horn
Running faster than light and we hunt 'em 'til the dawn
We are done with the heaven-sent
No messiah we mourn
In the sermon at night, full of hatred and of scorn
Venomous, feverous, force us to shout
We are tenebrous, poisonous, hellbent and loud
Uncrowned, hold up the sacrilege proud
[Chorus]
We are the heretic hunters tonight
We are the heretic hunters for life
By the hand of our belief
And the harvest of the night
Hand up for heretic life
No!
[Chorus]
We are the heretic hunters all wild
We are the heretic hunters for life
Never forced down to our knees
We're the hardest in the fight
Fist up for heretic life
[Verse 1: Powerwolf]
In this verse, Powerwolf sets a dramatic scene with references to religious symbols and rites, highlighting the group's devotion to their cause. The verse describes a zealous and almost apocalyptic vision, where traditional religious figures and warnings are absent, and the group's fervor and resolve are all that remains. The use of "venomous" and "feverous" underscores their intense passion and relentless pursuit of those they view as heretical.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The chorus reinforces the group's self-identity as "heretic hunters," emphasizing their commitment to their cause both "tonight" and "for life." The repetition of their mission to seek out and confront heretics reflects their unwavering belief and determination. The phrase "by the hand of our belief" conveys their motivation and justification for their actions, while "the harvest of the night" suggests a ritualistic or sacrificial aspect to their pursuit.
[Verse 2: Powerwolf]
In the second verse, Powerwolf continues to explore the theme of religious extremism, depicting the group as "sons of the wilderness" and rejecting any divine intervention or messiah. This verse emphasizes their determination and aggression in their mission, portraying them as fierce and unyielding in their quest. The imagery of being "tenebrous" and "poisonous" reflects their dark and uncompromising nature, reinforcing their role as agents of punishment and purification.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The final choruses build on the earlier themes, celebrating their role as "heretic hunters" with a sense of defiance and pride. The repetition of their commitment and the call to "never forced down to our knees" highlights their resolute stance and readiness to fight for their beliefs. The emphasis on their role as "the hardest in the fight" reflects their view of themselves as formidable defenders of their faith.
