The Hunger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
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!
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Rat race maze occupied blind sheep
Save us, save us, save us
There's an answer to this, that has walked the earth
The first was to warn, to teach, to lay down a life
(Sacrifice!)
But the leaders of man convoluted it all
Sticking fingers of their virus into all that is pure
And they dig, and they dig, and they dig, and they dig!
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
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
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
