Lyrics
[Verse]
What's the crown worth when it's dipped in sin
Gold threads fray and the rust sets in
Build the castle but the walls don't stand
Grains of deceit slipping through your hand
[Chorus]
What's it all about if it's ill gotten then it's rotten
Climbing ladders breaking hearts we’ve forgotten
Spin the wheel but the prize ain't pure
The weight of lies is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
[Verse 2]
Step by step on a fractured floor
Every step heavier than before
A dance with shadows in a fleeting race
Truth’s mirror breaks when it sees your face
[Chorus]
What's it all about if it's ill gotten then it's rotten
Climbing ladders breaking hearts we’ve forgotten
Spin the wheel but the prize ain't pure
The weight of lies is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
[Bridge]
Echoes linger in the halls of greed
Never silence for those who just breed
Turning circles in a maze untrue
No escape if it's built by you
[Verse 3]
Plant your seeds in rotten grounds
Watch them grow but see they’re bound
By the roots of what's not right
Even bright days turn into night
Is too heavy to endure
[Bridge]
Echoes linger in the halls of greed
Never silence for those who just breed
Turning circles in a maze untrue
No escape if it's built by you
[Verse 4]
What's the crown worth when it's dipped in sin
Gold threads fray and the rust sets in
Build the castle but the walls don't stand
Grains of deceit slipping through your hand
[Chorus]
What's it all about if it's ill gotten then it's rotten
Climbing ladders breaking hearts we’ve forgotten
Spin the wheel but the prize ain't pure
The weight of lies is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
Is too heavy to endure
[Outro]
Echoes linger in the halls of greed
Never silence for those who just breed
Turning circles in a maze untrue
No escape if it's built by you
