I am a simple man. I've seen kingdoms span. I've seen empire's rise and fall And turn my diamonds all into sand. I scorned the body, The flesh the bloody And tossed my money on down the drain. I thought I'd feel so much lighter than air When I abolished my earthly chains. But something more is calling me And I think my eyes can see it, I think my hands can touch it. So asking you, Lord above As you pile the plates up. You gave them bread, you gave them water Then you told them what they could and they couldn't touch. I scorned desire But now the fire is growing higher into the sky. So I refuse to simply lock myself away And let this heaven on earth pass by. There's no glory in greed and want But there's none in poverty either. Like they give you salvation and damnation And I take neither! I once said it's not about riches or rags And now I do remember That these puddles of wax won't give me candles back And won't keep you warm in December! So we'll storm the castle, Declare the kingdom rich. And do away with slaves and masters No longer do we want the sleep of eternity To come 'round faster. Faster! Faster! Faster! Hey!
