A Kingdom Ablaze Paroles

Nero's sang the same song they'd been singing
While hero's shot in vain their arrows slinging

Then the king and his knaves
The fools and the slaves
Kept pouring our wine
And we knew we should stop
But we drank every drop
Every grape from the vine

Barren grew the land between the oceans
And sorcerer's could not conjure magic potions

House of cards cried the child
We are tribes running wild
It was you it was me
It was us can't we see

When our greed becomes our need Without any plan
And we dare not ignore
The devil in store
From the nature of man

The future lies in state with tragic endings
While we still contemplate our happy endings

House of cards cried the child
We are tribes running wild
Was it you was it me
It was us can't you see

Who cares if the stars and sun don't shine
I've got mine

Ubi est mea
Ubi est mea
Deus est pecunia
Ubi est mea
Ubi est mea
Deus est pecunia

House of cards this malaise
Shall we dance a kingdom ablaze
Was it me was it you
It was us true is true

Who cares if rivers turn to brine
I've got mine
