Hunger

One truth to know
 And drill it in your head
 So many ways of dying
 Without being dead
 As we stand here now
 We will both meet the ground
 In shadow lies the heart of man
 Give me your hands
 There's no escape
 From hunger that stays in the dark
 Words that we spoke
 Are fragile and thin
 When fruit that once slumbered
 Shines bright from within
 A life of service has come to a cross
 And like each nail, you are dumb to your loss
 All that we hold
 Is now made clear
 We'll watch it burn
 And then see what's still here
 There's no escape
 From hunger that stays in the dark
 One truth to know
 Though all try to forget
 Our deeds and our demons
 Find no rest in death
 There's no escape
 From hunger that stays in the dark
