Hunger

Hunger, treacherous hunger

For more than just food

To climb the stairway, to the mountain

To then descend at the bottom of the lake

Catch a falling star, wish for hundreds of new gods

Raise an empire of forgetful youths

This hunger, overpowering hunger

For the truth of what lies behind the hill

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of the north to south

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of a simple magical life

 

Hunger, forever hunger

Of creation itself

For stories, bedtime stories

Fairy tales that speak themselves

Of a hero, selfless hero

Whom is embraced by the all-forgiving queen

This hunger, burning hunger

For what these fables can appear to be

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of the north to south

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of a simple magical life

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of the north to south

 

Am I in deep slumber

Dreaming of a simple magical life

 

Hunger, for you

Hunger, for you

 

Am I in no slumber

And the magic your brought grows

 

I am in no slumber

And you are the magic of stories told

 

Hunger, for you

Hunger, for you
