Comes the Hunter

*Author's Note: This song was inspired by Supernatural's John Winchester, and it was written for my fictional Supernatural band, Bad Moon Rising. The tune is similar to what you would expect from Creedence Clearwater Revival. I hope to post an actual recording of it on YouTube later. You may enjoy it in the manner of poetry or not as you choose.

When death stalks the quiet land

When black smoke rises in a midnight sky

When the dark is out of hand

Comes the hunter

Walking down life's asphalt road

The bloody trail ain't hard to trace

So we bear our salty load

It's not just time with which we race

When death stalks the quiet land

When black smoke rises in a midnight sky

When the dark is out of hand

Comes the hunter

Trust the hand that holds the gun

Welcome the heart that wields the knife

Somehow he may be the one

Who frees your soul and saves your life

When death stalks the quiet land

When black smoke rises in a midnight sky

When the dark is out of hand

Comes the hunter
