Lyrics:

I believed in every scripture
Every sermon that you gave
I received marks of communion
so my soul it could be saved
now I'm lost in the confusion
I don't know to whom I've prayed
who will give me absolution
at this altar that I've made

Said you idle heart was beating
You were Shepard for the lost
that your words were worth repeating
was the gospel that you taught
would we still follow the teachings
if we really knew the cost
if we knew who all was bleeding
when the lines you made were crossed

am I less than I was hoping?
am I more than what you said?
am I capable of coping
with this newfound sense of dread
are the hymns you were composing
still a hum within my head?
is the rapture fast approaching
am I best left with the dead?

I believed in every scripture
Every sermon that I heard
I believed in our salvation
I believed in every word
But belief and contemplation
On these truths that I have learned
Left me lost in revelations
On the scars that I have earned

    HONORED TO BE BLESSED WITH AN ABSOLUTE BANGER Was happy to collab on the video for Maximum Pain Should we tell em what the Latin means? 😏
  • I honestly love hunter’s character development, the angst, the emotions, all beautiful.

    This is a prime example of why TOH getting canceled is so heart breaking. Imagine all the creations that it could inspire, all the love song, healing song even war songs. All the comics and reimagined stories.....plus I really wanted that beach episode.
  • This is beautifully haunting and it captures just the angst and the hurt of this poor boy.

    This song really fits one of my character I once played. He was a paladin who was raised by a church worshipping a small deity. The acolytes raised him as a beacon for their faith and to draw in more people to their church. In order for him to survive they taught him magic, combat and about life. One day he was curious what they were doing when he was not around and found out that in actuality the religion was a lie. They were no deity they worshipped and they scammed people for their money and lively hood and he was to bring more people into ruin. His entire life was a lie.

    The golden guard gets a golden voice
  • Just seeing Hunter and Flapjack next to "Zealot" in the thumbnail is enough to make me cry
  • I like this song and th artwork. The story of Hunter is a painful one since he was created and gaslighted to be Belos' replaceable right hand man. Only through his bonds with Luz, Flapjack, Gus, Willow and the others he has been able to overcome Belos' manipulations and be his own person, even if his body and mind have scars that he will always carry.

    I really love that last verse, where the rest of the song was completely somber and melancholic the final verse progresses louder and rougher. From deep sadness to rage.

    OMG a hunter from the owl's house fan song?? This is a dream come true 💖💖
  • As a fan of the Owl House, I find this song amazing! Keep doing what you love, Cami! 👍
  • @GioFireheart
    Owl House is one of those shows I haven’t seen yet, but I almost know for a fact that I’ll love it when I do 😂 ALSO DAMN CAMI THE END OF THIS SONG GOES HARD
  • Never thought i would see the that Hunter would get his own song. Cami-cat, you rock.

    I am Catholic, and I grew up around a lot of other Catholics. I had a lot more about my upbringing in an earlier draft, but basically I went to a really conservative school and then a much more liberal school. I have learned so much more about my religion, its history, and its impact on people today. Basically, this song is incredible. It's clearly filled with religious language and about religious trauma. The focus about seeing the world in a new way after making your own discoveries is amazing. My personal favorite lines are "Would we still follow the teachings if we really knew the cost? If we knew who all was bleeding when the lines you made were crossed?" Just the double meaning of crossing a moral line and crossing oneself for prayer alone is incredible. But, as this song seems more aimed at those who are the leaders of a religion (in this case, Belos), it just rings true for me. The clergy have had moments in history of extreme corruption, and many leaders of the Church continue to cause extreme pain for people. They have covered up scandals in which children were hurt. Many of the people I was told to look up to when I was younger would consider me not truly Catholic if they knew I was queer. The Church does a lot of good, but we often do not properly address pain we've caused. There have been times in which lines have been crossed, and some people are really good at keeping quiet about that, allowing more suffering. It's just a really good song, and I have a lot of feelings.
  • Belos is one of the best villains ever. He's absolutely despicable and his influence on all the chacters especially hunter is strong and terrifying
  • I love that it sounds like a hymn. That's such a beautiful, pointed touch of irony.
  • This is beautiful and heartbreaking, Cami. It feels so much like our boy, Hunter. Also, glad to know that you're an Owl House fan!

    As a Christian, I both loved and hated this. It's so easy for man to take a simple Truth and twist it into something it was never meant to be and cause so much pain with it.
