The Shadow Of Greed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wants will soon become a need
Under the gathering shadow of greed
Mouths that we will never feed
Starving to death in the shadow of greed
Oh, so many ways to bleed
Living your life in the shadow of greed
Can you mask these evil deeds
Deep in the dark of the shadow of greed
A motivation force
Rob from the poor
To feed an addiction
More, more, more, more
Oh no, no it'll be enough
No end in sight and none in the works
Divide and conquer, devour and squander
Darkness follows where we wonder
No matter how much you achieve
You're still a cog in the machine
Consumerism gives them the power
To enslave the world to the final hour
But what choice do we really have
Live on the street, eat from the trash?
Damned if we do, damned if we don't
There is no escape, there is no hope
Wants will soon become a need
Under the gathering shadow of greed
Mouths that we will never feed
Starving to death in the shadow of greed
Oh, so many ways to bleed
Living your life in the shadow of greed
Can you mask these evil deeds
Deep in the dark of the shadow of greed
It's all around us every day and night.
From the day we were born 'till the day we die
Every smiling face is a disguise.
It would all be smooth if we believe
If we work our hands until they bleed
That we'll get ours when they get theirs.
Everyone will have an equal share.
