[Intro] [Verse 1] I came walking into Bremen With the black snow at my heels Heard you whisper through the floorboards Heard you praying over meals I tapped once on the window Scratched twice upon the door Left red gifts in the snowdrifts Then came back around for more [Pre-Chorus] Bolt it down Kill the light Tell the little ones It’s all right Hold your breath Shut your eyes I know every place You hide [Chorus] Black Hunger Hater of life Laughing in the doorway Cold as a knife Black Hunger Dead in the eyes Nobody’s sleeping Nobody’s safe tonight [Verse 2] I went dancing on your rooftops I went crawling down your walls Heard the children start to whimper Heard the old folk start to call I’m not here for silver I’m not here for meat I just like the sound of praying As you lie bleeding at my feet [Pre-Chorus] Nail it shut Bar the frame Whisper any god You name Hold your breath Kill the light That sound outside Is me tonight [Chorus] Black Hunger Hater of life Laughing in the doorway Cold as a knife Black Hunger Dead in the eyes Came to kill you all Tonight [Bridge] You lit a little summer Far beyond the trees Now winter wants an answer And she sent that answer in me [Final Chorus] Black Hunger Hater of life No door can hold me No wall survives Black Hunger Cold as a knife No prayer can stop me No flame stays bright [Outro] Cold wind walking Lake gone black Bolt up the doorway I still come back
