Hungry Like a Bount

[Verse 1]
Old souls in stolen skin
Names erased
But the thirst stays in
Hide in alleys
Under human light
Laugh at the reapers patrolling the night
Dust on the pages they swore were lies
We were the footnotes they left to die
Drink down spirit
It burns like truth
Every cut on my hand is a pact with proof
[Chorus]
Hungry like a Bount
You can chase me
Wear me out
But I bite the world that tried to drown me
Turn their fear into my bounty
Shinigami on the hunt
But your blades just feed the want
I’m the echo you can’t count
I live on
Hungry like a Bount
[Verse 2]
Cards on the table
Blood in the ink
Call out a partner the cowards fear to think
Doll with a grin and a mind of its own
We share a heartbeat
We sharpen the bone
You call it cursed
I call it breath
Trade one lifetime for a thousand deaths
If this is monstrous
Then let it be
At least this monster chose to be free
[Chorus]
Hungry like a Bount
You can chase me
Wear me out
But I bite the world that tried to drown me
Turn their fear into my bounty
Shinigami on the hunt
But your blades just feed the want
I’m the echo you can’t count
I live on
Hungry like a Bount
[Bridge]
We were ashes
Now we’re teeth
Say the word “forbidden”
And I bare what’s underneath (hey!)
Every soul they wasted
Every torch they mount
Writes my creed in fire
Writes my name in Bount
[Chorus]
Hungry like a Bount
You can chase me
Wear me out
But I bite the world that tried to drown me
Turn their fear into my bounty
Shinigami on the hunt
But your blades just feed the want
I’m the echo you can’t count
I live on
Hungry like a Bount

Aggressive anime-rock with male vocals; palm-muted guitars in the verses over halftime drums, then explode into a double-time, chantable chorus. Dark, cinematic pads under the hook, with distorted bass grinding the low end. Gang vocals on key lines, a brief tom-driven breakdown in the bridge, and a soaring, reverb-soaked lead guitar answering the final chorus., anime
