The Golden Idol Lyrics

We lost control of the car heading towards destruction in this heedless race
We lost our minds in this war, in this craving for riches, in this scaring maze
How could we ignore the signs – the caller in the desert
The poison in their lies, the greed in their eyes?

We're selling our souls to the golden idol
Bowing our heads at the golden idol
Bending our knees at the golden idol
Blowing our heads for the golden idol
The golden idol

We lost control of the game we were convinced to be winning
We're waking from a dream
Where are the ones we can blame, belying the pain of betrayal with our angry screams
How could we ignore the signs – the caller in the desert
The poison in their lies, the greed in their eyes?

Will we ever learn to yearn for riches in a land
Where no one ever can take them out of our hands?
