Greed... One of the seven deadly sins An endless hunger, an endless thirst The desire for more power, possessions That will consume our soul Watch the towers scrape the sky Foundations built on blood The monument of our lies Crushing those who bear the weight The profits always climb This is the cost that we buy They build their walls, they drain the sea Our shattered lives, their legacy They carve the earth, they take the name Of a broken world, a dying flame The greed of the golden vein It's the oligarchy that feeds the lie The greed of the golden vein They command this fate while we watch the world decline The rich devour, the poor decay Their empire was built on bone No justice comes, no price to pay Their greed was fueled by the throne They take the skies, they steal the Sun A choking world, their war is won They silence truth, they breed despair Their hollow throne, the cross we bear
