A Kingdom Ablaze 歌词

With the kingdom ablaze We averted our gaze By hiding our eyes When the pillars came down We heard not a sound From the city of lies Nero 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 sorcerers 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 you see? When our greed becomes our need All will bleed So we musn't blame fate When fools legislate 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, our 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
