Requiem for a dream, A dream of bettering oneself, A dream of freeing oneself from the cycle of poverty, Cruelly woken by Debtβs chains, Heavier than before. The ladder kicked away, Cruelly, swiftly they kick it away! Goodbye Judas, Was the 30 pieces of silver worth your honour, You rob the hope of a better tommorow with a wave of your hand, Your betrayal ,your lies, Your words and deeds are the rope on which you will hang! Requiem for a dream, laid low in the cold.
