[Intro] [Verse 1] A kingdom sculpted out of cold blue light Millions bowing to a ghost in the night Dashboards glowing with the pulse of the crowd Silent whispers made monstrously loud You hold the world inside a glass cage Feeding on hunger, bleeding the rage [Pre-Chorus] Every metric climbing to the sky Every soul reduced to a buy You built an altar of numbers and stone Sitting forever... completely alone [Chorus] Waking up with empty hands! Castles drowning in the desert sands! All the gold you claimed in your sleep Was never yours to touch, was never yours to keep! A marble statue where a heartbeat used to be Dying rich in a phantom sea! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Golden ticket in a poisoned dream Trading flesh for the siren's scream No true laughter, no unbought grace Just a painted mask on a hollow face Look in the mirror when the curtain falls Nothing echoes through your gilded halls [Pre-Chorus] The counter ticks, the server decays Burning the spark of your human days You built an altar of numbers and stone Sitting forever... completely alone! [Chorus] Waking up with empty hands! Castles drowning in the desert sands! All the gold you claimed in your sleep Was never yours to touch, was never yours to keep! A marble statue where a heartbeat used to be Dying rich in a phantom sea! [Break] Delete the icon. Clear the screen. NOTHING LEFT. WHERE THE SOUL HAS BEEN. [Bridge] The morning broke... the illusion died. The beggar starved, the emperor lied. You cannot carry a single coin Across the line where shadows join... [Chorus] Waking up with empty hands! Castles drowning in the desert sands! All the gold you claimed in your sleep Was never yours to touch, was never yours to keep! A marble statue where a heartbeat used to be Dying rich in a phantom sea! [Outro] Empty hands... Cold stone. Empty hands... Wake up. Wake up man! [End]
