[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]

[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]

[Guitar Solo: Shannon Hamm]

[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]
It comes from the depths
Of a place unknown to the
Keeper of dreams
If it could then it would steal
The sun and the moon from the sky
Beware

[Pre-Chorus]
Human at sight, monster at heart
Don't let it inside, it could
Tear you right apart

[Chorus]
No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
Spirit crusher
Stay strong and hold on tight
Spirit crusher

[Bridge]
Speaking in killing words
The vicious kind that crush and kill
No mercy, it's pleasure to taste
The blood that it bled

[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]

[Guitar Solo: Shannon Hamm]

[Verse 2]
When it's time to feed to fulfill
The need to consume a breath
Some will rise, standing tall
Breathing out all the breath from
The voice of a soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Human at sight, monster at heart
Don't let it inside, it could
Tear you right apart

[Chorus]
No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
Spirit crusher
Stay strong and hold on tight
Spirit crusher

[Outro]
Speaking in killing words
The vicious kind that crush and kill
No mercy, it's pleasure to taste
The blood that it bled
