A KINGDOM ABLAZE
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 sorcerer's could not conjure
magic potions
Chorus
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 become
our need all will bleed
So we musn't blame fate
When fools legislate
Without out 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
Deus est pecunia
Chorus
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
