Hunters of the Sky Lyrics

Running faster than I ever have
Evading sharks in the sky
Death trap and I kill again
Dig through my own hives

Shelter from sky
Talon of raptor

Force-fed glass giant moth
Reaping fields of the flesh
Heavy hand thwart the scheme
Of the dominant nymph

Omen she brings
Carried on weathered wings

Fly reptile
Leather wings
Bones hollow
Petrified

Fly reptile
Leather wings
Bones hollow
Petrified

Running faster than I ever have
Evading sharks in the sky
The earth's ashing floats
What is good for man
Cast us out into the known

Hahaha, right.. and what about the flying sharks, are these the equivalents of European compact cars?

Yes...yes they are.

wtf are you guys talking about? Actually I'm 2 years in the future so... It's about the protagonist being attacked by the hunters that he escaped from at the beginning. They are flying shark creatures. He feinds them off and continues his quest onward.

I think its about a dragon or some sort of creature like that attacking the protaginist

I don't think it's literally supposed to mean sharks probably a kind of bird or griffin or something is now chasing him after he escapes the birchmen

i personally think that it might have some more of a deeper meaning than the storyline of the album like someone in war

"Running faster than I ever have Evading sharks in the sky Death trap and I kill again Dig through my own hives"

obviously someone taking cover from fire and killing in war on home soil

"Force-fed glass giant moth Reaping fields of the flesh"

airstrikes

"Omen she brings Carried on weathered wings"

soldiers are shown as heros, but not many know what they bring to other countries
