The Golden Vein

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
