Greed

The heavy stone that fills our hearts
The thing that breaks us apart
How can man possesses such greed
To kill everything for something
Something so simple
How can they fight for gold
When it is so bitter cold
how can they kill with steel
How can they murder with lead
What drives them to this deed
To blame it on greed
Because there hearts are black
And cold as the northern ice
And just for some metal
And the irony that runs deep
They kill for metal with metal
They learn to sneak and creep
To fill there pockets with coin
I wonder how they live with the guilt
And yet this is how empires are built
