In Gold We Trust

**(INTRO)** *(Sound of coins dropping, police sirens, distorted news snippets)* *Breaking news, another saint, caught with bloodied hands...* *Donations pouring in, anonymity guaranteed, as per their demands...* *Meanwhile, a child starves, another good deed unseen, unheard...* *This is our world, twisted and blurred...* **(VERSE 1)** Diamonds on our wrists, while the innocent bleed We built our empires on greed, a corrupted creed Worshipping paper, chasing after ghosts Blind to the suffering, counting our empty boasts They say money talks, but its voice is a disease Spreading like wildfire, corrupting our every deed We idolize villains, engraving their names in stone While acts of kindness, wither and die, left alone. **(CHORUS)** Twisted the game is, values rearranged Where good deeds are silenced, and evil is famed. Tell me, what's a soul worth, in this twisted game we play? Another donation, another sin washed away. **(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - Let those haunting melodies twist the knife)** **(VERSE 2)** Imagine a world, where headlines screamed of compassion "He fed the hungry," "She healed a broken nation!" Anonymous giving, a forgotten art, see Competition for kindness, that's the world for me But instead, we celebrate the wicked and the cruel Their names etched in history, taught in every school Adolf, a brand, forever burned in our minds While good deeds fade away, lost in the sands of time. **(CHORUS)** Twisted the game is, values rearranged Where good deeds are silenced, and evil is famed. Tell me, what's a soul worth, in this twisted game we play? Another donation, another sin washed away. **(BRIDGE - Tempo shifts)** Is this the legacy we want to leave behind? A world obsessed with wealth, to humanity, blind? When will we realize, true power lies in grace? In lifting each other up, not carving hate's embrace? **(CHORUS)** Twisted the game is, values rearranged Where good deeds are silenced, and evil is famed. Tell me, what's a soul worth, in this twisted game we play? Another donation, another sin washed away. **(OUTRO - Distorted laughter fades in, then out)**
