[Instrumental Intro: Michael Pluznick]


[Verse 1]

Smell of death lurks around the place

Human need, unholy race

See the bloody pile of bones

The night is filled with hellish moans

It's been around for, oh, so long

At dawn of time, they sang their song

The need to eat the human flesh

Strength it gives to pass the test


[Chorus]

Feel the power of your unholy death

Feeding frenzy

Human flesh

To live


[Verse 2]

There's no law, it's time to fight

A ritual hunt every night

Life grows through mounds of flesh

A stronger soul from another's death

Hidden back, yet deep within

Jungle's there, it's always been

Hunt at night to stalk their prey

Kill and eat it before it's day


[Chorus]

Feel the power of your unholy death

Feeding frenzy

Human flesh

To live


[Guitar Solos: Gary Holt / Rick Hunolt]


[Verse 3]

Dead bodies lie where they fed

Half eaten carcass stained red

Hunting parties come to call

Leaving nothing and they take it all

There's no need to change their ways

Blood and money always pay

Don't disturb their solitude

Or their victims will be you


[Chorus]

Feel the power of your unholy death

Feeding frenzy

Human flesh

To live


[Guitar Solo: Rick Hunolt]
