Hunter's Moon

The size of the moon tells many tales

The fuller the moon

The deeper the spell

A lover's spat heard round the world

As a life is take all too soon

Cries in the dark

Lit up only by the hunter's moon

An innocent child orphaned while he sleeps

Dreaming of things that he will never see

As the home he knows is no longer a safe place to be

Lusting for the hunt

Drawn to the spell

The size of the moon tells many tales

One minute past the hour when the thought crossed his mind

Giving him a reason to present his nine

Not expecting to pull the trigger

He just wants this to be a night that she will remember

But the thoughts turn his madness into a burning rage

Determined to make her see things his way

If only she would listen

No one would have to died today

But her minds made up

Nothings that he's done will make her stay

A lover's spat heard round the world

As blood is spilled

Screams are heard

The call of the wild calms his heart

As soon as he realizes the evil he's done

He presses the barrel to his temple

And allows his finger to pull the trigger

An innocent child orphaned as he sleeps

Only to be awakened by his mother's screams

Then silence and disbelief that the parents

"I loved will no longer be with me"

The hunter's moon circled in blood

Creating the spell

That the size of the moon tells so well

The fuller the moon the deeper the tale

Lusting for the hunt

Drawn to the spell

A life taken all too soon

Lit up only by the hunter's moon!
