Verse 1:
In the name of progress, we march ahead
blinded by the wealth we've amassed and bred.
Our ego swells as we climb up high
ignoring the warnings of the earth and sky.
As we march towards our fate,
our vanity and greed we cannot sate,
our lust for power, our endless thirst,
leads us towards destruction, the worst.
Chorus:
Our greed for power, our love for gold
has left the world to wither and grow old
Our vanity, our arrogance
Has led us down this path of decadence.
Verse 2:
No matter how huge we build our empires,
huge structures that reach for the sky,
But in our race to the top,
we forget that we will ultimately fail.
The wars we wage, the blood we spill
the lies we tell, the void we fill
our hunger for more, our thirst for fame
has brought us closer to eternal shame.
Chorus:
Our greed for power, our love for gold
has left the world to wither and grow old.
Our vanity, our arrogance
has led us down this path of decadence.
Our world is burning, our souls are yearning,
for a life that we cannot sustain,
Our greed for power, our endless desire,
is causing our own self-destruction and pain.
Verse 3
Our wealth we cannot keep,
for in the end, it will all deplete.
Our possessions will not survive,
and our power will not keep us alive.
Bridge:
Can we turn back the clock?
And undo the damage that we have wrought?
or is it too late for us to see
The consequences of our vanity?
Chorus:
Our greed for power, our love for gold
has left the world to wither and grow old.
Our vanity, our arrogance
has led us down this path of decadence
Outro:
The end is near, we cannot escape, and
while we stare into the abyss of our own creation,
we can only hope for redemption and salvation.
Our vanity and greed, our greatest fault.
Because the self destruction of humanity
is a tragedy of our own design.
