The Hunger lyrics

[Intro]

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

[Verse 1]

We kill, to war

To murder, to hurt

Scorch the skies and poison the earth

And watch the stumbling efforts to partially fix it all again

Time has cracked

The warning sirens have faded!

It's coming. Either hell above

Or heaven below

The board has been set

Your bed has been made

Lie in it

As you realize you can’t eat your money

It is nothing!

[Chorus]

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

[Verse 2]

Rat race, maze

Occupy, blind sheep

Save us! save us! Save us!

There's an answer to this, let us walk the earth

The first ones to warn, to teach, to lay down their life

Sacrifice!

But the leaders of man convolute it all,

Sticking fingers of their virus into all that is pure

And they dig, and they dig, and they dig!

[Chorus]

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

[Verse 3]

We were the hungry, you fed us poison!

We were the silent and you kept speaking!

We were the hungry, you fed us poison!

We were the empty, and you kept taking!

We were the silent and you kept speaking!

So don't you, don't you look away!

[Chorus]

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Open up your eyes and start to take it in

And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
