"The Hunger" lyrics - OF MICE & MEN

[Intro:]
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!

[Chorus:]
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...
Occupy... 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
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 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!

[Chorus:]
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
