Lyrics

Hunter of the Night - Jesse Daily

In the shadows of the night,
Dexter prowls with feline might,
Silent paws on the prowl,
In the dark, he starts to howl.

Through the halls, a tiny squeak,
In the corner, something weak,
Dexter's eyes, a gleam so bright,
He's the hunter of the night.

Dead mouse in the house, Dexter's pride,
In the shadows where secrets hide,
Silent paws and piercing eyes,
Dexter's caught the night's surprise.

In the kitchen, under moonlight,
Dexter's catch, a morbid sight,
Whiskers twitch, he takes a stance,
In this deadly midnight dance.

Tiny life, now it's still,
Dexter's hunt, a silent thrill,
Purring loud, his mission done,
In the night, he's number one.

Dead mouse in the house, Dexter's pride,
In the shadows where secrets hide,
Silent paws and piercing eyes,
Dexter's caught the night's surprise.

(Slowing tempo, atmospheric sounds, building tension)
Shadows flicker, night grows deep,
In the house, no one's asleep,
Dexter reigns, the hunter's king,
To the night, his triumphs sing.

Dead mouse in the house, Dexter's pride,
In the shadows where secrets hide,
Silent paws and piercing eyes,
Dexter's caught the night's surprise.
