The Price of Hunger

Song

The Price of Hunger

Lyric

The foundation we built was so steady and wide,
So steady and wide
Now it’s just ghosts and the secrets you hide.
Secrets you hide
You loved the currency, not the person inside,
Person inside
Greed was the poison that lived by your side.
It only takes one bad heart to break the chain,
To turn a beautiful home into nothing but pain.
You traded the gold for the rust and the rain,
Left us all hollow just for your gain.
Just for your gain!
I watched as the walls turned to paper and thin,
As you let the cold of the market place in.
Saeed remembers the warmth on your skin,
Before you made money your only next of kin.
It only takes one bad heart to break the chain,
To turn a beautiful home into nothing but pain.
You traded the gold for the rust and the rain,
Left us all hollow just for your gain.
Just for your gain!
One life, one lie, enough to erode,
The love that we carried, the life that we owed.
The equity’s vanished, the lights have all glowed,
Over the fragile, where once we were bold.
Now the echoes are all that remain in the hall,
The price for your hunger has totaled it all.
I stood by the window and watched the sky fall,
As the ghost of our family answered your call.
Mmm, yeah…
Just for your gain…
Greed, oh greed…
Just for your gain…
