Greed
Born into the grind, a cog in the wheel
They sell you a dream, but the nightmare feels real
Hands in the dirt, while the towers shine
We break our backs, so they can shine
They'll bleed the earth, they call it gold
Promise salvation, but it's already sold
Kings on thrones, with empty eyes
While we scavenge, scraps from their lives
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
Rat race ends, where it all starts
The rich grow richer, the poor decay
They laugh in shadows, while we waste away
A system built, to crush the weak
A kingdom ruled, by wolves that speak
The children cry, their futures sold
The blood runs cold, as the stories unfold
A shiny screen, to numb the pain
We fight for crumbs, in their deadly game
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
A system built, to crush the weak
A kingdom ruled, by wolves that speak
The children cry, their futures sold
The blood runs cold, as the stories unfold
A shiny screen, to numb the pain
We fight for crumbs, in their deadly game
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
Rat race ends, where it all starts
Climbing a ladder, that leads to a fall
The higher you go, the less you have at all
A banquet of ashes, a hollow prize
A world that burns, while the phoenix dies
Feast on the bones, there's nothing left
A starving world, a quiet death
Rich man laughs, poor man cries
Under the weight of the system's lies
They sell you a dream, but the nightmare feels real
Hands in the dirt, while the towers shine
We break our backs, so they can shine
They'll bleed the earth, they call it gold
Promise salvation, but it's already sold
Kings on thrones, with empty eyes
While we scavenge, scraps from their lives
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
Rat race ends, where it all starts
The rich grow richer, the poor decay
They laugh in shadows, while we waste away
A system built, to crush the weak
A kingdom ruled, by wolves that speak
The children cry, their futures sold
The blood runs cold, as the stories unfold
A shiny screen, to numb the pain
We fight for crumbs, in their deadly game
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
A system built, to crush the weak
A kingdom ruled, by wolves that speak
The children cry, their futures sold
The blood runs cold, as the stories unfold
A shiny screen, to numb the pain
We fight for crumbs, in their deadly game
Feast on the bones, they've stripped it clean
A machine that kills steel by greed
Dog eat dog, we tear apart
Rat race ends, where it all starts
Climbing a ladder, that leads to a fall
The higher you go, the less you have at all
A banquet of ashes, a hollow prize
A world that burns, while the phoenix dies
Feast on the bones, there's nothing left
A starving world, a quiet death
Rich man laughs, poor man cries
Under the weight of the system's lies
