Master Hunter (Lyrics)

I check the sight on my new night scope
Twelve hours in the bush, never give up hope
Out of the murky water, rises a beautiful head
Only need one shot, to kill the beast dead

I’m the master hunter of the universe
It’s mine for the kill, cause I saw it first
I’m the master hunter of the universe
Just can’t seem to quench my bloody thirst

It’s not quite dead, must be losing my touch
Boy it sure is a big one, better measure the tusk
We’ll pose for photographs, better they pack it in ice
Working up an appetite, bet it’s tasty with rice

I’m the master hunter of the universe
It’s mine for the kill, cause I saw it first
I’m the master hunter of the universe
Just can’t seem to quench my bloody thirst

Used to be in the army, that is where I learned to kill
Now I throw parties, give all my friends a thrill
As they see the prey, mounted on my wall
Every animal, every species, you can count them all
Turn on the spotlight, we’ll have a ball
I’m the master hunter and I want them all

Next stop the north pole, going to bag me an elf
Last entry on my wall of shame, right before myself
Don’t believe in reincarnation, just one shot at this world
Hope and pray I guessed it right, or I might come back as a squirrel

I’m the master hunter of the universe
It’s mine for the kill, cause I saw it first
I’m the master hunter of the universe
Just can’t seem to quench my bloody thirst
