A younger man would stay here

A wiser man would run
A more experienced or wiser person would opt to flee or escape.
Only he can see them
Only the individual involved can perceive or understand these entities.
The ghosts in the sun
There are intangible apparitions or haunting presences in daylight.
Raise hell around him
There's chaotic behavior happening around him, causing disturbance.
Dance on the coals

A heel worn to it's soul

(One by one)
(One by one) - Indicates a gradual or sequential occurrence of events.
With hounds they come
They approach in groups, referring to relentless pursuit.
(Hunted down)
Being relentlessly chased or pursued.
Do not make the slightest of sounds
Advice to maintain absolute silence to avoid detection.
(One by one)
Sequentially, one after another, they attack before impact.
Before you hit the ground they claw you out
Before falling, they attack, intending to injure.
(Hunted down)
The ongoing pursuit or hunting continues.
Wild child keep digging down
Encouragement to persist despite the aggressive pursuit.
They're snapping at your feet
The adversaries are close, attempting to seize or harm.
Waiting for you to fall
Anticipating a moment of failure or collapse.
Teeth are glistening
Teeth are a menacing symbol, almost captivating in their danger.
It's almost beautiful
The danger holds a certain twisted beauty in its threat.
(One by one)
Similar to earlier, an incremental process of attacking and consuming.
Cut and pick you clean
A graphic depiction of being mutilated or dissected.
Nothing but our bones
Nothing remains but the skeletal structure after the assault.
(Hunted down)
The relentless pursuit continues as nightfall approaches.
The night is closing in
The darkness encroaches, intensifying the chase.
And now the chase is on
The pursuit or hunt is now fully engaged or underway.
