[The Primal Hunger] [ Verse 1 ] Dutch leads the squad through the humid maze Dillon follows through the emerald haze High in the trees, a grisly sight appears Skinned corpses hang to feed upon their fears [ Pre-Chorus 1 ] The air grows heavy with a silent threat A weight of shadow they haven't felt yet [ Chorus 1 ] When the shadows learn to speak The strong become the weak Every weapon falls away In the heat of the killing day [ Verse 2 ] Blain lets Old Painless scream into the night Lead tears the jungle with no one to fight The M134 starts to glow The ghost in the leaves is a thing no one knows [ Pre-Chorus 2 ] Rhythmic clicks from the forest floor Something they’ve never faced before [ Chorus 2 ] Glory is a fragile thing When the hunter starts to swing All the metal and the fire Burn out on the funeral pyre [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Warm Strings] [ Bridge 1 ] A smear of electric green is on the leaves Liquid starlight that the jungle weaves If it bleeds, it dies, the Major tells the crew The nightmare has a pulse and comes in view [ Verse 3 ] Billy Sole stands on the bridge of wood Facing down the demon as he should Three laser dots, a triangle of doom Targeted within the velvet room [ Pre-Chorus 3 ] The tactical plans begin to fray As the unit is swept away [ Chorus 3 ] Instinct is the only law Beneath the silver claw Pride is stripped down to the bone Facing the dark alone [ Bridge 2 ] The titan drops the mask to show its face A warrior from a cold and distant place No more gadgets, just the heat of skin Hand-to-hand the final fight begins [ Verse 4 ] Dutch hits the bank and dives into the sludge The cold, caked mud becomes the only judge He’s vanished from the thermal glare Setting traps within the lion’s lair [ Pre-Chorus 4 ] The jungle waits for the final strike To see what the end is like [ Final Chorus ] Technology is just a lie Beneath the ancient sky Only hunger remains real Stronger than the cold of steel [ Outro ] The clicking fades into the trees A silent prayer upon the breeze The predator becomes the prey As the fire burns the world away
