[intro] [instrumental] [verse] In a world of concrete and neon lights Where dreams are shattered and hopes take flight We stumble through the maze of life Chasing shadows, in endless strife We toil and sweat, for a life we crave But the rat race continues, to the grave We chase the dollar, the fame, the power But in the end, it's all just a tower [chorus] Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all pretend to be bold... (bold!) Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all sell our souls for gold... (gold!) [verse] In a world of concrete and neon lights Where dreams are shattered and hopes take flight We stumble through the maze of life Chasing shadows, in endless strife We hide our fears, behind a mask of pride We bury our sorrows, deep inside We laugh and we cry, but it's all just a show We're just puppets on a string, dancing to the flow [chorus] Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all pretend to be bold... (bold!) Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all sell our souls for gold... (gold!) [verse] We're trapped in a cycle, of never-ending greed Chasing rainbows, that we can never see We're lost in the maze, of our own desires Forever chasing, the elusive fires In a world of chaos and confusion We seek solace in our illusions But in the end, we're all just dust Lost in the cosmic shuffle, lost in the rust [chorus] Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all pretend to be bold... (bold!) Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all sell our souls for gold... (gold!) Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all pretend to be bold... (bold!) Ode to the beautiful world... (world!) Where we all sell our souls for gold... (gold!) [instrumental] [outro]
