World is ruled by money

<verse> Hell is empty and all the devils are here In human form, in designer gear. Hordes that want you to bow and obey, To do their will 'til your dying day. They'll reach their goal over bodies and bones, No scrap of empathy in their hearts of stone. You'll read nothing on their frozen faces, The devil only kneels for what he puts on altar places. Cause fortune spins on a wheel of gold, But societies rot from the cancer of old. When greed stares out of the elite's eyes, The balance of profit is where the truth lies. They reshape the Decalogue to fit the crime, They're above the law, the law’s for the blind. They'll crush you like a house of cards, Taking everything you have, leaving only scars. And what’s most precious, they'll steal from you: The very time you’re passing through. <bridge> Time is the currency you hold in your hand, A fragile coin, like sinking sand. Lost moments can't be bought back or saved, Don't waste it now, don't be a slave. <chorus> World is ruled by money World is ruled by greed World is ruled by lust Power, betrayal, and golden dust. Greed is on its altar, Trick waits in the darkness, Power keeps looking around To wear this blody crown. <verse> When you fight the demons, you might become one too, And when you dance with wolves, they’ll expect a wolf in you. I know that we are not alone in this fight, We’re not the only ones who refuse this night. We don't accept a world where brothers are prey, Where a wolf is a brother, and the brother’s turned away. So don’t waste more time, don’t wring your hands, We have too little left to meet their demands. Have a heart and look into the heart, Or you'll never tear this vicious cycle apart. <chorus> World is ruled by money World is ruled by greed World is ruled by lust Power, betrayal, and golden dust. Greed is on its altar, Trick waits in the darkness, Power keeps looking around To wear this blody crown. <verse> Think about where you’re heading today, And what kind of dreams you’ve picked on the way? Will you use your time well before it’s all gone? What kind of memories will linger on? If you had to choose between "to have" or "to be," Which one would you take so desperately? The choice is only hard in your head, Because no matter the wealth or the life you led, No matter the pride or how great you become, Everyone’s equal when the heartbeat is done... When they lay you in a coffin, and the dirt starts to run <chorus> World is ruled by money World is ruled by greed World is ruled by lust Power, betrayal, and golden dust. Greed is on its altar, Trick waits in the darkness, Power keeps looking around To wear this blody crown.
