Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft

piano

chords

drift

in,

a

weeping

flute

melody

fades

into

the

low-end

bass)

Yeah.

Just

listen

to

the

wind.

It

whispers

the

names

of

those

who

came

with

nothing.

And

left

with

even

less.

Born

in

the

valley

where

the

shadows

grow

tall

Barefoot

on

gravel,

waiting

for

the

sky

to

fall

My

father

worked

his

hands

until

the

skin

turned

to

stone

But

in

this

concrete

jungle,

we

were

always

alone

The

price

of

bread

rises

like

a

kite

in

the

storm

While

the

rich

keep

their

mansions

and

their

spirits

so

warm

We

dream

of

a

future

that’

s

painted

in

gold

But

the

hunger

in

the

belly

is

a

story

untold

Oh,

the

weight

of

the

silver,

the

crown

of

the

cold

In

a

world

ruled

by

pockets,

where

our

souls

are

all

sold

We

pray

for

a

change,

but

the

silence

is

loud

Just

a

face

in

the

struggle,

lost

in

the

crowd

Money

buys

the

laughter,

money

buys

the

light

And

the

poor

fade

away

in

the

dead

of

the

night

I

watched

a

man

trade

his

heart

for

a

seat

at

the

table

Trying

to

rewrite

his

fate

like

a

twisted

old

fable

But

corruption

is

the

water

that

we

drink

every

day

And

if

you’

re

lacking

the

paper,

you’

ve

got

nothing

to

say

They

talk

about

power,

they

talk

about

pride

While

the

tears

of

the

weary

have

nowhere

to

hide

We

look

for

a

savior

in

the

morning

sunrise

But

find

only

the

reflection

of

our

own

tired

eyes

Oh,

the

weight

of

the

silver,

the

crown

of

the

cold

In

a

world

ruled

by

pockets,

where

our

souls

are

all

sold

We

pray

for

a

change,

but

the

silence

is

loud

Just

a

face

in

the

struggle,

lost

in

the

crowd

Money

buys

the

laughter,

money

buys

the

light

And

the

poor

fade

away

in

the

dead

of

the

night

Violin

cries

for

the

dreams

left

behind

In

the

corner

of

a

room

where

the

light

is

confined

Is

there

a

justice

for

the

hand

that

is

empty?

Or

is

hope

just

a

ghost

that’

s

lacking

in

plenty?

We

are

the

cycle,

the

debt,

and

the

fear

Living

through

seasons

that

never

feel

dear

So

the

curtain

descends

on

a

life

spent

in

toil

Returning

the

bones

back

to

the

hard,

thirsty

soil

No

legacy

left

but

the

ache

in

the

chest

Finally

finding

a

place

for

the

weary

to

rest

Money

was

king,

and

it

ruled

every

breath

Even

following

the

poor

through

the

valley

of

death

But

in

the

final

silence,

the

truth

starts

to

show

That

the

rich

take

nothing

where

they

finally

go

Oh,

the

weight

of

the

silver,

the

crown

of

the

cold

In

a

world

ruled

by

pockets,

where

our

souls

are

all

sold

We

pray

for

a

change,

but

the

silence

is

loud

Just

a

face

in

the

struggle,

lost

in

the

crowd

Money

buys

the

laughter,

money

buys

the

light

And

the

poor

fade

away

in

the

dead

of

the

night

Yeah.

Just

echoes.

Just

dust.

Nothing

left

to

hold. (

Violin

solo

fades

into

distant

piano

notes) (

Fade

to

silence)
