Hunger for The Flesh — текст песни (Howard Jones)

Spare a thought for the souls

Who cannot leave this earth

The attachments bind so tightly, not a chance

Not a chance of a new birth



The river gently beckons

But the answer is no

Gripping their illusions

They cannot let them go



Hunger for the flesh

Leads them to a weaker heart

Mortals who imprisoned themselves

Let them have a new start



Wishing to hold onto life and all its games

Singing their lament song

Holding back the change



They came here for to dance

To learn and not to cling

Holding onto life

As if it were the important thing



Hunger for the flesh

Hunger for security

Caught up in the mesh

Caught up for eternity



Hunger for the flesh

Hunger for security

Caught up in the mesh

Caught up for eternity



The river gently beckons

But the answer is no

Gripping their illusions

They cannot let them go



Hunger for the flesh

Leads them to a weaker heart

Mortals who imprison themselves

Let them have a new start

Let them have a new start



Hunger for the flesh

Hunger for security

Caught up in the mesh

Caught up for eternity



Hunger for the flesh

Hunger for security

Caught up in the mesh

Holding back the change
