Built on power lies and gold
how long did you think your halls would hold?
you lost gold, the day it digitized
then you relied on just the power and lies
but you built weapons that can make all things quake
now left with lies, you claim it all for goodness sake
you hold those lies, you hold them dear
they are the only things we have left to hear
you tell us this you tell us that
but we no it means no more than ****
your broken kingdoms hold the world
yet see nothing in it with beauty as you saw with gold
I'm sorry it was taken from you
a true shame you have nothing left to do
your story of protection always fails
when you break peace with yourselves and the wind hears our wails
we people know what we need
it isn't pain, not lies, not greed
there's many among us though, who follow your dream
lost wanderers they seek by you royals to be seen
a foolish notion it was indeed
to give you the reigns and take our lead
