The air is thick with hunger. We are not the hunters here. [Verse 1] We crossed the roots where no light falls, Heat pressed down like ancient walls. Sweat turned to rivers upon our skin, The silence heavier than sin. Every step sank soft in decay, The earth itself pulling us astray. Shadows shifted, branches swayed, But no wind moved, and none had prayed. [Chorus 1] The jungle hungers—silent, unseen, Every path is swallowed, every breath a scream. The jungle hungers—it waits, it feeds, And we are the offering it needs. [Verse 2] Something stirred where the branches broke, A low growl rolled, but no one spoke. The eyes we felt before they shone, As if the night itself had grown. Leaves concealed the hunter’s breath, A whisper close, a promise of death. Each heartbeat echoed against the trees, Each glance returned by things unseen. [Chorus 2] The jungle hungers—silent, unseen, Every path is swallowed, every breath a scream. The jungle hungers—it waits, it feeds, No way to escape its endless greed. [Bridge / Interlude] The ground betrayed, the air deceived, Roots reached higher than we believed. Venom dripped where flowers bloomed, The air itself became a tomb. Every breath was bought with fear, And still the voices whispered near. You are not the hunters here. The soil remembers every tear. [Verse 3] The trees leaned in, the path grew thin, The shadows stretched, enclosing sin. Our torches faltered, light grew frail, The night itself began to wail. The insects swarmed, a living tide, We struck at ghosts on every side. Each cry was swallowed by the ground, Where silence reigned and none were found. [Final Chorus / Climax] The jungle hungers—ancient, alive, To enter its shadow is not to survive. The jungle hungers—silent, unseen, It swallows the light, it devours the dream. The jungle hungers—waiting, concealed, It knows every secret the grave has sealed. [Outro] Eyes in the dark… Track #6 in the Harrowed Roads series.
