Lyrics

Welcome one, welcome all to answer the Capitol's call,
Revenge is sweet, and best served cold, and sweeter still at twelve years old.
Another day, another death, another girl fighting for breath.
Drums crash overhead, to mark the fallen dead,
As we're burning, burning, falling, learning, living life too late,
As we're yearning, yearning for a life we know isn't our fate.

Chorus
I've got the hunger, deep in my bones,
I've got the bloodlust, running through my veins,
I've got the hatred, coursing through my skin,
I know whichever way I fight, Capitol wins.

Reaping day comes again, hide your tears, hide your pain.
Time enough for that still when the bodies fall like rain.
Another day, another death, and God I pray that I'm not next.
Drums crash for the dead, their names rip through my head,
As we're waiting, waiting, hoping, praying soon it will be done.
We're perpetually staring down the barrel of this gun.

Chorus
I've got the hunger, deep in my bones,
I've got the bloodlust, running through my veins,
I've got the hatred, coursing through my skin,
I know whichever way I fight, Capitol wins.

How do they sit idly by when they hear our children cry?
After years of all their games, how can they ask why?
When they kill us for the sport, just a lesson to be taught.
I've got the hunger.

Chorus
I've got the hunger, deep in my bones,
I've got the bloodlust, running through my veins,
I've got the hatred, coursing through my skin,
I know whichever way I fight, none of us win.

I've got the hunger, deep in my bones,
I've got the bloodlust, running through my veins,
I've got the hatred, coursing through my skin,
I know whichever way I fight, Capitol wins.
