Marc van der Meulen ♫ | Amaranthe - Hunger | Viola and Cinematic Orchestra Cover @MarcvdMeulen | Uploaded July 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.

Amaranthe combines some of my favourite elements of different kinds of music into one really catchy style. Hunger is the second song I ever heard by them and I really like it for its obvious action style cinematic influences. It's no secret I like cross-over genres within metal, and this EDM/pop/metal combo just really works for me.

Since I still haven't figured out how to grunt on viola, I decided to leave those parts out. I love them in the original song but it just doesn't fit with my arrangement.

Looking for a viola player to play on your album or someone to make some epic orchestrations to complement your music? Please have a look at my website ( marcvdmeulen.com ) or send me a message!

"Hunger"

Hear me scream
It's unreal, what's inside of me
Broken bones and the code that hunts me
Welcome home, I'm alone, is it gone
What I'm feeling is surreal

World in flames
It's a chase, I'm a cornered man
It's a pulse in my veins, no delays
It's a rain, it's a chamber of dust
As I'm viewing the plains

I have no faith in our reality
No mirror can correct my destiny
One thing to rule what I've become
Take it or leave it 'cause this is my love song

A drop of blood
A flood of anger for old times

Of the sorrow I lust

Hunger - Save me
One world depending on me
I have the force in me
The truth will be revealed
Higher - Faster
I am the fuel to set you free
I am your destiny

Inhumane
I'm ashamed in the pouring rain
Disinform, set the norm
You're to blame
Spin the wheel, break the seal to conceal
That I'm finding it so real

I'm ashamed, not the way that I want to be
Have to bare my own soul, unveil me
To discern it's my turn, have to learn
I have to face it

That the world will burn

This message written for us on the wall
No need to correct the way I walk
One world, one lust and our dream
Ruined in pieces, a human machine

A drop of blood
A flood of anger for old times

Of the Sorrow I lust

Hunger - Save me
One world depending on me
I have the force in me
The truth will be revealed
Higher - Faster
I am the fuel to set you free
I am your destiny

One raging anger
Grows inside
From the sorrow I lust

Hunger - Save me
One world depending on me
I have the force in me
The truth will be revealed
Higher - Faster
I am the fuel to set you free
I am your destiny
