Retaliate - VNV Nation

I can almost hear

Your heart in the darkness

How fast it is beating

How close you are to me

I can almost hear

How tensely you are breathing

Out there in the darkness

Listening for me

I can almost sense

Your skin on my fingers

Tension and the fear

Anticipating me

I can almost see you

Somewhere in the darkness

Praying for advantage

Clinging to a chance

Justice never wavers

It is my single purpose

Relentless the pursuit

I will find you where you hide

Counting on your indecision

Deciding when to strike

Calculating movement

The senses of the chase

The game of chess begins

The pieces moved in place

Your advantage growing slimmer

Your options running thin

The hunt is what defines us

Imminent defeat

The back of your shirt soaking

Fear all you can feel

One of us the hunter

One of us the prey

One of us the victor

One to walk away

One who’s left remaining

One of us who stands

One who lies defeated

Beneath the other’s hands

When the dust is settled

Only one of us will see

Which of us was worthy

Which of us was weak

And when this fight is over

Only one of us will say

Which of us the victor

And which of us the prey

One of us the hunter

One of us the prey

One of us the victor

One to walk away

One who’s left remaining

One of us who stands

One who lies defeated

Beneath the other’s hands

When the dust is settled

Only one of us will see

Which of us was worthy

Which of us was weak

And when this fight is over

Only one of us will say

Which of us the victor

And which of us the prey
