A Kingdom Ablaze |
| With the kingdom ablaze |
| We averted our gaze |
| By hiding our eyes |
| When the pillars came down |
| We heard not a sound |
| From the city of lies |
| Nero’s sang the same song they’d been singing |
| While hero’s shot in vain their arrows slinging |
| Then the king and his knaves |
| The fools and the slaves |
| Kept pouring our wine |
| And we knew we should stop |
| But we drank every drop |
| Every grape from the vine |
| Barren grew the land between the oceans |
| And sorcerer’s could not conjure magic potions |
| House of cards cried the child |
| We are tribes running wild |
| It was you it was me |
| It was us can’t we see |
| When our greed becomes our need |
| All will bleed |
| So we musn’t blame fate |
| When fools legislate |
| Without any plan |
| And we dare not ignore |
| The devil in store |
| From the nature of man |
| The future lies in state with tragic endings |
| While we still contemplate our happy endings |
| House of cards cried the child |
| We are tribes running wild |
| Was it you was it me |
| It was us can’t you see |
| Who cares if the stars and sun don’t shine |
| I’ve got mine |
| Ubi est mea |
| Ubi est mea |
| Deus est pecunia |
| Ubi est mea |
| Ubi est mea |
| Deus est pecunia |
| House of cards this malaise |
| Shall we dance a kingdom ablaze |
| Was it me was it you |
| It was us true is true |
| Who cares if rivers turn to brine |
| I’ve got mine |
