The Wages of Greed Lyrics

Can I stand to tell the truth another day
Can you widen your horizons?
Our world is dying
Can't you turn the page
I feel the temperature is rising

Lost in greed
Our own creation
An evil deed
Of human nature

Will I find an Earth
When dawn does finally arise

I crossed the sky
Every time you called
I lived a lie, and it's time I fall
Down the grave of something beautiful
The wages of greed are forlorn

When I opened my eyes this morning
The world was burning
I felt my soul on fire
This is where I draw the line

I ask you
How could you do this to us
You took away all
That made this world alive
Walked away and let it die

I crossed the sky
Just to hear your call
I lived a lie, and this time I fall
Down the grave of something beautiful
The wages of greed are forlorn

Our world forgotten
All gone, and what then
Our Earth still turning
My soul still burning
On you my friend
Never again shall I depend
You've taught me well
To sacrifice
To pay the price
Can't fool me twice
I broke your spell

I crossed the sky
Every time you called
I lived a lie, now my world is cold
I'm so alive, but I'm so alone

I crossed the sky
Every time you called
I lived a lie, and it's time I fall
Down the grave of something beautiful
The wages of greed are forlorn

I crossed the sky
Every time you called
I lived a lie, and it's time I fall
Down the grave of something beautiful
The wages of greed are forlorn
