HOWARD JONES - Hunger for the flesh lyrics

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
