A Chain That Binds

In a world where the gold blinds the heart's sight
Where the glitter of gain makes the wrongs feel right
We tread on souls just to rise in rank
In the river of greed, we all sank

Greed, oh greed, it's a chain that binds
It's a wildfire that burns through the kindest minds
It leads us to hurt, to harm, and to take
Leaving trails of tears in its wake

With pockets full, but with spirits broke
We trade living forests for pillars of smoke
Animals cry, and the earth does plead
As we carve our thrones out of our greed

Greed, oh greed, it's a chain that binds
It's a wildfire that burns through the kindest minds
It leads us to hurt, to harm, and to take
Leaving trails of tears in its wake
Greed, oh greed, it's a chain that binds
It's a wildfire that burns through the kindest minds
It leads us to hurt, to harm, and to take
Leaving trails of tears in its wake

Can we see beyond the emerald veil?
Can we choose love where we once chose sale?
It's not too late to change the end
To heal the world, and to mend

Greed, oh greed, let's break your spell
Let's rise above and bid you farewell
For a world that's kind, that gives more than it takes
A world that loves, and never
Greed, oh greed, let's break your spell
Let's rise above and bid you farewell
For a world that's kind, that gives more than it takes
A world that loves, and never forsakes
