The Hunter's Chase
They came around
and stared you down
the hound dogs took a rest
The barrel's eyes
found their surprise
your speed put to the test
So off you ran
for safety's sake
spare time you couldn't afford
Before the pack
was on your back
to claim their day's reward
The sounds of gunshots
and barking dogs
were ringing in your ears
Your instinct cried out
in your head
your heart alive with fear
You had to seek
your refuge place
as many times before
And as you did
the hunter's chase
was but in vain once more.
