Lyrics House of Cards - Painted In Exile

House of Cards

Corrupt, what have we let them do?
They tore our world into pieces
Corrupt, was the cause of the wicked
They will be put to death for their treason in the name of mankind
Down falls the hammer
You can’t but your way out of this one
You can’t buy your way
You can’t buy your way
You cannot buy your way!
Damned to meet the mask
The guillotine descends as we all stand behind the glass
Our tears of anguish have run dry
Let go of the life you thought you knew and let the hate run through your veins
This is the last time they let us down
Breaking the chains that once had our hands shackled and bound
At last, the heroes of the overturn will now be immortalized
Tears of anguish have run dry
Blackened skies
Open eyes
Time to rise to our feet again!
Let go of the life you thought you knew and let the hate run through your veins
This is the last time they let us down
Breaking the chains that once had our hands shackled and bound
Black flags by the will of the masses
and now will turn to ash
Ironically, what have we become?
We tore our world into pieces
Unjust was the cause of the wicked
But our greed has destroyed us and crippled all of mankind
Down falls the hammer
We can’t buy our way out of this one
We can’t buy our way
We can’t buy our way
We can’t buy our way out!
Falling easily, knocking down your house of cards
Simple, it is to turn on your brother
We defile ourselves with greed
We defile ourselves with greed
