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'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 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 mineTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
