Rich Man, Poor Man
[Verse 1 - Acoustic, Reflective] The rich man walks on golden streets, His shadow stretches far and deep. He builds his walls, he locks his doors, But the echoes haunt his marble floors. The poor man sleeps on broken dreams, His world is stitched at every seam. He trades his sweat for crumbs of time, But his heart still beats, his soul still shines. [Pre-Chorus - Hypnotic, Rhythmic] Oh, the scales are tipped, the lines are drawn, The sun sets fast, the night comes on. Who’s to say who’s right or wrong? The rich man sings, the poor man’s song. [Chorus - Anthemic, Aggressive] Rich man, poor man, the world turns cold, One buys the sky, the other sold. Rich man, poor man, the same old fight, One hides in day, one screams in night. Rich man, poor man, the wheel still spins, One loses all, the other wins. [Verse 2 - Soulful, Dark] The rich man drinks from crystal streams, But the taste is bitter, or so it seems. He counts his gold, he counts his sins, But the void inside just pulls him in. The poor man laughs with tattered grace, He finds his peace in the darkest place. He knows the weight of every stone, But he walks the road, he’s not alone. [Pre-Chorus - Hypnotic, Rhythmic] Oh, the scales are tipped, the lines are drawn, The sun sets fast, the night comes on. Who’s to say who’s right or wrong? The rich man sings, the poor man’s song. [Chorus - Anthemic, Aggressive] Rich man, poor man, the world turns cold, One buys the sky, the other sold. Rich man, poor man, the same old fight, One hides in day, one screams in night. Rich man, poor man, the wheel still spins, One loses all, the other wins. [Bridge - Introspective, Folk/Roots Rock] The rich man dreams of endless shores, The poor man dreams of something more. But in the end, the truth is plain, We’re all just dust in the pouring rain. [Breakdown - Heavy Alternative, Dark] The clock ticks on, the hourglass spills, The rich man’s greed, the poor man’s will. The earth will crack, the heavens fall, But love’s the thread that binds us all. [Final Chorus - Anthemic, Soulful] Rich man, poor man, the world turns cold, One buys the sky, the other sold. Rich man, poor man, the same old fight, One hides in day, one screams in night. Rich man, poor man, the wheel still spins, One loses all, the other wins. [Outro - Acoustic, Reflective] Rich man, poor man, the story’s told, One’s wrapped in silk, the other in cold. But when the stars burn out and fade, We’ll all be equal in the graves we’ve made.
