Kenshi - Dust and Hunger

#kenshi

[Verse]
Fighting the hot sun with a pick in my hand
Dust bandits lurking like shadows in the sand
Starving bandit stares at me from across the plain
But my copper’s worth more than his hunger and pain

[Verse 2]
I dig through the earth with sweat on my brow
Dreaming of a life far from this somehow
Three thousand cats for a friend who won’t stay
Hungry again mining copper all day

[Chorus]
Dust in my lungs and fire in my veins
Trading my life for a few copper gains
Cats in my pocket but I’m losing the fight
Hunger’s a shadow that haunts me each night

[Bridge]
The sun sets red and the world feels cruel
This life’s a game where I’m just a tool
I build my hope with every swing and grind
But tomorrow comes and I’m back in the mine

[Verse 3]
Bandits steal more than the scraps on my plate
They rob me of time and decide my fate
Three thousand cats to feel less alone
But hunger reminds me I’m on my own

[Chorus]
Dust in my lungs and fire in my veins
Trading my life for a few copper gains
Cats in my pocket but I’m losing the fight
Hunger’s a shadow that haunts me each night
