Heretic Hunters Lyrics – Powerwolf

[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.
