[Verse 1] We walked the fields of endless green, A tapestry of what we’d seen. The stars would hum our lullabies, But now they whisper, “Tell me why?” Was it a dream, or just a lie? The past dissolves before my eyes. [Chorus 1] You can make a fortune in lies, Build your kingdom on hollow skies. Spin the truth, watch it rise, A crown of shadows, a devil’s prize. [Verse 2] The mirror cracks, the image fades, A labyrinth of masquerades. I reached for light, but grasped the flame, A shattered vow, a tainted name. The siren’s call, a tempting snare, Now all that’s left is empty air. [Chorus 2] You can make a fortune in lies, Build your kingdom on hollow skies. Spin the truth, watch it rise, A crown of shadows, a devil’s prize. [Breakdown] [intricate section] [dueling guitar and keyboard solos] [shifting time signatures] [haunting atmospheric build] Is this the weight of gilded chains? Or just the echo of false reigns? [Long Guitar Solo] [Outro] Now you’ve made a fortune in lies, Your empire burns, your truth denies. The dream is gone, the veil is thin, The end begins where it all begins.
