But oh god now here it comes and it's too dark to aim this gun but
Now faster, faster, faster, once again i'm on the run
And I hear you say
"Oh my stubborn son, I know that you said you need no one
Don't you see danger, danger, danger, headed to oblivion?"
Followed the hunt, far as I could
Through dozen weathers
Petrified wood
And I took one shot, in the dark
Fired a bullet, silver to heart
It's partly about a boy fighting in the Iraq war, and partly a reworking of 'The Barghest', a reference to killing the animal with a silver bullet, which is how you kill a werewolf.
Lyric corrections:
