The reach of squalid power, mottled decadence
Raucous minds, the graveyard of illicit victories
Lives bargained on the dark side of promises
Trusts betrayed, turning cartwheels on honesty
Walk confused, too frozen to face realities
Minds stoned on long cherished hopes
All get bartered on wiles wrapped tight
The colors of betrayals drip red and sleepless
Careless ashes in an unsuspecting hearth
The turmoil it wreaks is all too rabid
As innocent lives get compromised over and over…

They gotta have it, the crave bites hard
The reach of squalid power, mottled decadence
Raucous minds, the graveyard of illicit victories
Lives bargained on the dark side of promises
Trusts betrayed, turning cartwheels on honesty
Walk confused, too frozen to face realities
Minds stoned on long cherished hopes
All get bartered on wiles wrapped tight
The colors of betrayals drip red and sleepless
Careless ashes in an unsuspecting hearth
The turmoil it wreaks is all too rabid
As innocent lives get compromised over and over…
