lyrics

I was running through the forest with a shotgun.
I was running through the forest with a deerhorn in my hand.
I was running through the forest when I came upon that frozen lake.

It broke my soul.
O, it turned me hollow!

I was running through the valley with a wicked shotgun.
I was bounding down the mountain with thorns in my hooves.
I was fawning on a doe when I made that deadly mistake.
O, it turned me hollow!
Hollow like the wind blows!
It came right at me like the devil!

Despite all the war and the wolves and the death,
All I can think of is you.
It's funny you'd be struck by lightning before I could be with you.
Despite all the war and the wolves and the death,
Seeing a ghost is just seeing his breath.
Hunting a deer is like searching for God,
So what will you do when you come for it?

You know what you will do.

All my life! All my life! I've been waiting all my life
To shoot one right between the eyes!
I heard her cry like a child
With her face so blank and wild
Like a china doll with a human soul.
Then she stood on her hind legs and bayed
And I prayed and she bayed and she prayed and I bayed

And I drowned her in the lake.
It broke my soul.

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony.
