The Fox: | |
Right behind me as I rush across the meadow | |
Hungry hounds are getting closer all the time | |
I can hear the sound of horses on the gallop | |
Don't they know that in gods eyes it is a crime | |
City gents turn on their horses to go faster | |
[....] has now become a battle cry | |
Why, I am tired and my legs are growing weaker | |
Could it be that I can see death going by | |
At last I have found peace | |
Alone in the dark | |
But how long can I stay here | |
For I hear them's bark | |
Breaking from cover now | |
Hearing the trumpet sound | |
Hey | |
Hissing and panting now | |
Fleeing across the ground | |
Hey | |
Dogs coming closer now | |
Knowing the time has come | |
Hey | |
Snarling and snapping, run | |
Senses becoming numb | |
Hey, hey, hey, hey | |
Ahh… | |
The Hunters: | |
Gather round and see the fun | |
Come and see what we have done | |
Today's the day we've won our prize | |
We cut the fox right down to size | |
We got its brush, and leave its head | |
Perhaps to make a little more | |
We've got the rush and lots of laughs | |
And smear our faces in its blood | |
We go back and drink our fill | |
We meet again for another kill | |
We chase the fox right out of breath | |
And smell again the fear of death |
