I have been sleeping for seven moons, and now I'm awake
I have a hunger deep within me I can't shake
I see it twist and turn, I won't let it take a hold of me
The time to hunt has come, it's time for me to feed

We know one of us is going down
So I say we do this anyway
We know one of us is going down
So I say we do this anyway
(One of us is going...)

Down in the darkness
Beneath the light
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
Down in the shadows
Become the night
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
If one of us is going down (one of us is going down)
I say, let's do this anyway (let's do this anyway)
One of us is going down (one of us is going down)
We do this anyway
On the hunting grounds

I was raised by wolves, taught to fight until the death
Slowly wear you down to your very last breath
I can hear your heart pound, you don't think I'm a threat
Like a predator, sink my teeth into your neck

We know one of us is going down
Well, I say, let's do this anyway
We know one of us is going down
Well, I say, let's do this anyway
(One of us is going...)

Down in the darkness
Beneath the light
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
Down in the shadows
Become the night
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
If one of us is going down (one of us is going down)
I say, let's do this anyway (let's do this anyway)
If one of us is going down (one of us is going down)
I say we do this anyway

On the hunting grounds
On the hunting grounds
(One of us is going...
One of us is going...)
Down!

(One of us is going...)

Down in the darkness (darkness)
Beneath the light (beneath the light)
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
Down in the shadows (shadows)
Become the night (the night)
Meet on the hunting grounds, down
If one of us is going down (one of us is going down)
I say, let's do this anyway (let's do this anyway)
If one of us is going down (one of us is going down)
I say we do this anyway
On the hunting...

On the hunting grounds
On the hunting grounds


(feat. Dead vocalist Joe Catela)

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about the innate need to survive at any cost. It's about the deep down hunger in all of us - the primal urge & giving into it in order to remain at the top of the food chain so to speak.
