[Intro]
There’s a girl out there
Walking real slow
Grief sings on the air
Fire, ash and smoke
She may be gone for now
But she’ll be back again
(Again…)

[Verse 1]
Starvation’s running the sky
The days are hot, wells are dry
Picking off the common folk
Coming for their loved ones and their throats
Pray to last the night
But there’s not much left to die
Famine circles, takes a bite
As hunger steals their life and then their lives

[Pre-Chorus]
The Devils sit on white chairs
As the people sing to the wind

[Chorus]
Oh, the day will come when your date’s read
Hear that hungry noise, see the Hells fed
Oh and then you’ll run, but just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh, the woods will know

[Verse 2]
Wealth sits on a throne
Here, wells overflow
Lounging under money trees
Set to bring the whole world to its knees
It claims the air you breathe
Burns what it can’t seize

There’s no force as feverish as avarice, as greed

[Pre-Chorus]
The devils claim they’re saviours
As the people starve
Spirits sing

[Chorus]
Oh, the day will come when your date’s read
Hear that hungry noise, see the Hells fed
Oh and then you’ll run. but just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh, the woods will know

[Bridge]
The dirt told the grass and the fields told the flowers
The folly of man and those seated in power
Briars told branches and leaves told the trees
It takes one song to break rich knees
Grove told the glen and the vale told the meadows
They sang the same song and they let the noise echo
Streams told the rivers and hills told the mountains
‘Til one angry girl heard the whisper of sound and
She could hear the earth, hear it screaming
Hear that hungry noise, ripe for feeding
She could hear the ground, hear it’s beating
Earth and dirt were done with their cheating
She packed up her gun, joined in with the sound
Couldn’t kill me then and you can’t kill me now

[Chorus]
Oh, the day will come when your date’s read
Hear that hungry noise, see the Hells fed
Oh, even the sun knows what you said
Lay your head upon dirt and death bed
Oh and then you’ll run, but just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh, the woods will know
