Retaliate

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 densely 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
