Predisposed to exceed every boundary Eternal hunger Disconnected in aspiration Far beyond all rational desire Extravagance and arrogance Hand in hand towards the end Driven by the concept of insatiable greed The state is emergent but we can't contain our need Are we too proud to be reminded Are we too proud to be reminded Where this road will lead The golden shroud has left us blinded And hostile to recede Self-absorbed, prosperity is the only goal One minor sacrifice is unthinkable The current will correct itself And we'll be left with no option but to lose it all We reach the point of no return Without a vestige of concern Repentful in the afterglow As side effects begin to show Driven by the concept of insatiable greed The state is emergent but we can't contain our need Are we too proud to be reminded Where this road will lead The golden shroud has left us blinded And hostile to recede A competition that can't be won Discontent is the recurring outcome Far beyond all rational desire Extravagance and arrogance Hand in hand towards the end
