“The Hunter and The Prey” is an original song by the Arizona indie pop-rock group Halocene. It was inspired by the DC Comics series “Birds of Prey” and was written with the hopes of it getting onto the soundtrack for the 2020 movie adaptation (which, unfortunately, did not come to be).
I been giving second chances
Thanking you to take advantage
Breaking falls and taking damage
Sorry for my broken bones
Let you into darker places
Showed my weak spots, all my faces
Now my book's some frayed up pages
Blame myself, I should have known
I’ve had enough
I'm tired of playing tough
Time to let the justice reign
The animal is alive
You better run for your life
This is the fight or flight
I'm comin in the night
Just when you’re feeling like you're safe
I am the hunter, you're the prey
No more playing nice, its over
I have lost all self composure
I'm just seeking out some closure
With my hands around your throat
Thirsty for revenge tonight
Watch your back in the moonlight
I smell the fear that's in your mind
I've had enough
I'm tired of playing tough
Time to let the justice reign
The animal is alive
You better run for your life
This is the fight or flight
I'm comin in the night
Just when you’re feeling like you’re safe
The animal is alive
You better run for your life
This is the fight or flight
I'm comin in the night
Just when you’re feeling like you're safe
I am the hunter, you're the prey
(Run, run, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Run, run, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Run, run, ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Run, run, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Run and hide, get on your knees
There is no escape from me
The animal is alive
You better run for your life
This is the fight or flight
I'm comin in the night
Just when you’re feeling like you're safe
The animal is alive
You better run for your life
This is the fight or flight
I'm comin in the night
Just when you're feeling like you're safe
I am the hunter, you're the prey
I am the hunter, you're the prey
I am the hunter, you're the prey
This is the end, there's no escape
I am the hunter, you're the prey
You will get what you deserve
You will pay for what you burned
There's no one to stop me now
And your time is running out
