[Verse 1]
What pain will it take
To satisfy
Your sick appetite?
Go in for the kill
(Kill, kill, kill...)

[Refrain]
Always in sight, prey
The time always right, feast
Feed on the pain, taste
Sorrow made flesh, sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Live how you want
Just don't feed on me
If you doubt what I say
I will make you believe
Shallow are words from those who starve
For a dream not their own to slash and scar

[Chorus]
Big words, small mind
Behind the pain you will find
A scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger
Abstract theory the weapon of choice
Used by a scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
So you have traveled far
Across the sea
To spread your written brand
Of misery

[Refrain]
Always in sight, prey
The time always right, feast
Feed on the pain, taste
Sorrow made flesh, sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Live how you want
Just don't feed on me
If you doubt what I say
I will make you believe
Shallow are words from those who starve
For a dream not their own to slash and scar
[Chorus]
Big words, small mind
Behind the pain you will find
A scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger
Abstract theory the weapon of choice
Used by a scavenger of human sorrow
Scavenger

[Verse 1]
Drifting into the lives
Seep into the soul
Where emotions hide

[Refrain]
Dark skies were beating me down
With shadows of deceit
Slashing at trust 'til it forever bleeds
With doubt (With doubt)
With pain (With pain)
With trust is pain

[Pre-Chorus]
When you think of me
In your multi-dimensional mind
Try and wash the evil from your mind
And open it

[Chorus]
When you taste the truth
You will see like others before me
To you I am past, a story to tell
To you I am past, a story to tell
Tell it!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If you think you own the end
Take another look at the script
Of sadness etched in the book

[Refrain]
Dark skies were beating me down
With shadows of deceit
Slashing at trust 'til it forever bleeds
With doubt (With doubt)
With pain (With pain)
With trust is pain

[Pre-Chorus]
When you think of me
In your multi-dimensional mind
Try and wash the evil from your mind
And open it

[Chorus]
When you taste the truth
You will see like others before me
To you I am past, a story to tell
To you I am past, a story to tell
Tell it!
