[PARANOiD DJ - In My Sights feat. Edward Bosco lyrics]

Striker:

Yeah?
Who's the target?
Heh, consider it done

My story's like the others from the plains of wrath below
Where you only get dealt losing hands, the only life you'll know
While the rest of them could stay content with the lot that they have drawn
I've got ambition more than that, above where I was born

Some folks'll say there's no such thing as a man who is self-made
Let's see if folks'll say the same when they taste a holy blade
And I ain't one for chatter when I'm on the hunt for blood
Better go get your affairs in order 'fore I come to judge

So run baby run, gonna have to hunt you down
When every life will fetch a price my talent knows know bounds
I'd say it's nothing personal, but that wouldn't be fair
'Cause if you're on my nasty side, then you ain't got a prayer!

Now you're in my sights
Better say goodnight
You won't see the knife
Before I end your life
Now you're in my sights
And I'm about to strike
You're just my type
To set my soul alight

The target doesn't matter, whether sloth or lust or greed
I'll wander takin' any bounty, to give me what I need
The tools and all the firepower I could ever want
To challenge all the smarmy pricks and all the wealth they flaunt
Those bastards that had stole from us, they hide behind their names
But titles won't mean shit when they got bullets in their brains
'Cause I am through with listening to the whims of royalty
Unless, of course, they want divorce by way of contract fee

So run baby run, gonna have to hunt you down
When every life will fetch a price my talent knows know bounds
I'd say it's nothing personal, but that wouldn't be fair
'Cause if you're on my nasty side, then you ain't got a prayer!

Now you're in my sights
Better say goodnight
You won't see the knife
Before I end your life
Now you're in my sights
And I'm about to strike
You're just my type
To set my soul alight

So take heed, darlin', of what I said
I ain't choosing between alive or dead
You're just a ticket that I've gotta claim
And the last thing you'll hear is me and my name

Now you're in my sights
Better say goodnight
You won't see the knife
Before I end your life
Now you're in my sights
And I'm about to strike
You're just my type
To set my soul alight

Now you're in my sights
Now you're in my sights
You won't even see before I end your life
Now you're in my sights

About the song PARANOiD DJ - In My Sights (feat. Edward Bosco)

A brand new original song based around Striker, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, visuals and artwork.

And here we are! My last upload of 2023 to close out the year in style after what has been a frankly bonkers 12 months of music and personal accomplishments I never thought I'd see happen. We've heard ink demons sing and booze cats swing. Saw killers return and watched popstars perform. And listened to a prince's lament. And now it's time for the best bounty hunter in Hell to have his turn.

Striker has been one of the most... well, striking characters that Helluva has introduced, scheming and slick to get what he wants no matter what gets in his way. His original introduction cutting right to the heart of Blitzo's insecurities before showing himself to be dangerous enough to kidnap a Goetia successfully speaks to his sheer determination and skill, and there was only one person who could do this song justice. Striker himself!

Edward Bosco has been an inspiration to me since my earliest days of making proper fan music. From the debut of the Hazbin pilot all the way to his turn providing such a charismatic performance in Striker, having him on board this track was an honour and privilege to have. Ed put in an insane amount of practice to ensure his performance really captured the arrogance and willpower the piece needed and he absolutely nailed it in every possible way. With a massive shoutout to Dawn M. Bennett as the vocal director for the project, helping to bring this all together with their own amazing talents and direction!

The track itself is inspired by not only the obvious country and Western vibes that Striker's status as a cowboy villain brings, but also the energetic movements of breakbeat and drum-heavy dance music pioneered by the likes of artists such as Fatboy Slim in the early 2000s. I wanted to fuse that old time sound with something modern to match Striker's style with his methods, focusing on material that shows that nothing will stand in his way of getting what he wants and enjoying the hunt while he does it. See if you can spot the references to already existing Striker music from the show!

Scope it in and drop, dear listeners, he's honing in on you...
