Wash your hands wrist-deep in gold
Children’s birth-rights bought and sold
Scorch the earth for all it’s worth
Avarice out of control
Blag more digital noughts for your hoard
Acquire it, accrue it
Pimping the awards your riches bought
Exhaust it, consume it
Strangler’s hands around your throat
The air you breathe now ash and smoke
Your lights grow dim, you’re losing sight
To the herald of the night
Twilight
Crush and burn, live to despoil
Treeless deserts, barren soil
Suck the teat with all your greed
Drain it dry and take the spoils
Leave the check, a debt for Hell to pay
Deny, then justify it
Bequeath to your heirs their legacy
Disguise it and hide it
Strangler’s hands around your throat
The air you breathe now ash and smoke
Your lights grow dim, you’re losing sight
To the herald of the night
Twilight
Grim, dark deeds, steeped in blood
By your children you’ll be judged
They’ll spit your name with repulsed rage
Shamed by their inheritance
Blag more digital noughts for your hoard
Acquire it, accrue it
Pimping the awards your riches bought
Exhaust it, consume it
Strangler’s hands around your throat
The air you breathe now ash and smoke
Your lights grow dim, you’re losing sight
To the herald of the night
Twilight
