Symbol of eternal emptiness Things exist worse than conquest & war Found deep within your belly More importantly, the lack of Reaper black, scales of scarcity Mystic conjuration: The gaping maw Fertile lands turn into sand Harvests withering, no more bounty Cornucopia, of the river Styx Growling stomachs, starving darlings, music to hear Spirits waning, lives are draining Zero sums in his measurements Hollow bodies funnel empty spirits What was easily granted, is now denied Bread & meat you'll never see again Food for the soul? Not this place

Four Horsemen - Famine
Symbol of eternal emptiness Things exist worse than conquest & war Found deep within your belly More importantly, the lack of Reaper black, scales of scarcity Mystic conjuration: The gaping maw Fertile lands turn into sand Harvests withering, no more bounty Cornucopia, of the river Styx Growling stomachs, starving darlings, music to hear Spirits waning, lives are draining Zero sums in his measurements Hollow bodies funnel empty spirits What was easily granted, is now denied Bread & meat you'll never see again Food for the soul?
