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
