"They say the original sinners"-- That's where we jump into Adam and Eve. Original Sin is the fruit thing, so says Catholicism.
From some quick research, Mount Zion refers to two places-- a hill just outside of Jerusalem, and what is now the area called Temple Mount, where Jesus chased out the Money Changers.
The interesting thing is, if you think of it from a Jewish perspective, which this song seems to be doing (Never mentions anything from the New Testament) and look into it there, the Temple Mount is believed to have the "Foundation Stone," which is the exact spot where the world was created, and it expanded from there. Mt. Zion is a clear reference the "the beginning." Also, as Sons & Daughters commented, it is believed that a signifigant temple will be built there right before the second coming of Christ.
I don't think the "hunters" part is exactly in tune with the rest of the [biblical] metaphor. It seems that arrows (in the beginning) are used to refer to danger, though I'm guessing there, and then later he uses the word "hunters" to refer to people; however, while it's a metaphor, he refers to it literally; what do hunters use, bows.
