Once home with a feeling of pride Once Charming and with nothing to hide Now distant with a feeling of shame Now infected from the cost of the game The money took away your innocence And greed became you guidance All for one and none for all Your time will come and your castle will fall What I wouldn't give to have you back Your future once so bright has now turned black Who can you sell to save your soul When your city's fuckin' drowning in black gold No questions asked and no need to explain No need for critics when you all think the same We'll help ourselves and the rest can all burn Let's see who'll laugh when the tables have turned Everyone dies and your well will dry out And then you'll see what respect is about I pray the world will forgive all your faults And show you mercy when the castle it falls Lost charm, lost hope, show me the rope Where you will end this fuckin' shame Where you will stop and try again Where you can earn back some respect Integrity is not for free but can't be bought with what you own It must be earned it must be shown For you old friend all hope is gone
