Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cycle of life and death supposedly
Goes around and around yet it stops with me
Glorious hunters of my faith, I have sinned
Killers are quiet like the breath of the wind

[Verse 2]
Filling the shadows with forms of my own
Raised by kindred of Get I was born
Abomination world in disarray
Killers are quiet when they seek the vitae

[Verse 3]
Reflection beckons a portal shard
Spiritual quest I must stay on guard
Stepping sideways between worlds I shift
Killers are quiet when they're born with the gift

[Verse 4]
Beautiful anguish cast out by my race
Now one that's ageless I save my own face
I write my own laws with death, I break bread
Killers are quiet when they come from my head!

[Outro]
Run! Run! Run! Run!
Run! Run! Run! Run!
