Hunter's Kiss Lyrics - Rasputina

Here's a sad story about a deer and a man 

A romantic scene from a lullaby. 

In a clearing green, where his eyes met mine. 

I was frozen motion. Oh! His bow was raised. 

Then the fleeting notion-that my life he'd save. 

But I saw it coming, flying through the air. 

Feathered backside humming. Miss me, hit me where 

Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound. 

Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon. 

I have never felt like this before. 

Felt my body sinking to the grassy floor 

No, I have never known a love like this. 

Felt the flaming arrows of the Hunter's Kiss. 

My life is not mine. 

Like a dog or a wife. 

He has taken his time. 

He has taken my life. 

I could see the steaming of his cloudy breath. 

No, I was not dreaming. 

I was next to death. 

As I lay there twitching, then my legs he tied. 

There was nothing missing on the day I died.
