Lyrics The Hunger - Of Mice & Men

The Hunger

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
