about

Its title "The Hunter", could probably be more accurately entitled "The Poacher". It is, amongst other things, about the time when hunting was absolutely a means of survival.

This is us in our Pysch-folk mode.

lyrics

There's always been a hunter, he who steals the game
There always been the hunter, we do know his name, we do know his name
There's the squire and master, the horses he'll run lame
But for the squire and master we'd all play the game, we'd all play the game

I know we're in for hell, they fix the price to sell
Then take away the chain that mills the grain, that mills the grain

Keep the candles burning help the hunter find his way
When the hunter becomes hunted he'll need a place to stay, so hide him till comes day
However hard the winter, the hunter knows our name
He'll be there with bird or hare and never ask for pay, the hunter knows our name

They'll tie him to the sails, while sharpening their blades
But we're going to smash the gang, man for man with stones in our hands

Keep back corn, break the stone, make your own, so the hunters not alone
