Once home with a feeling of pride
Once Charming and with nothing to hide
Now distant with a feeling of shame
Now infected from the cost of the game
The money took away your innocence
And greed became you guidance
All for one and none for all
Your time will come and your castle will fall
What I wouldn't give to have you back
Your future once so bright has now turned black
Who can you sell to save your soul
When your city's fuckin' drowning in black gold
No questions asked and no need to explain
No need for critics when you all think the same
We'll help ourselves and the rest can all burn
Let's see who'll laugh when the tables have turned
Everyone dies and your well will dry out
And then you'll see what respect is about
I pray the world will forgive all your faults
And show you mercy when the castle it falls
Lost charm, lost hope, show me the rope
Where you will end this fuckin' shame
Where you will stop and try again
Where you can earn back some respect
Integrity is not for free but can't be bought with what you own
It must be earned it must be shown
For you old friend all hope is gone
