[Verse 1]
Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west
Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast
With my beliefs and possessions
Stopped at the frontier in my chest
At the edge of my country, my back to the sea
Looking east
[Verse 2]
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod
Where power and position are equated with the grace of God
These times are famine for the soul
While for the senses it's a feast
From the edge of my country, as far as you see
Looking east
[Chorus]
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon
Hunger in the mansion, hunger in the rented room
Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page
And there's a God-sized hunger
Underneath the laughter and the rage
And an absence of light
In the deepening night
Where I wait for the sun
Looking east
Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west
Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast
With my beliefs and possessions
Stopped at the frontier in my chest
At the edge of my country, my back to the sea
Looking east
[Verse 2]
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod
Where power and position are equated with the grace of God
These times are famine for the soul
While for the senses it's a feast
From the edge of my country, as far as you see
Looking east
[Chorus]
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon
Hunger in the mansion, hunger in the rented room
Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page
And there's a God-sized hunger
Underneath the laughter and the rage
And an absence of light
In the deepening night
Where I wait for the sun
Looking east
