[Verse]
The devil’s whisper creeps in the play
Steals our children at the break of day
Silver tongues with golden chains bind the land
Dreams crumble like castles in the sand
[Chorus]
Where did the promise of the dreamer go
It’s buried under bills and winter snow
The rich folks climb while we stay low
My soul’s heavy with the weight I know
[Verse 2]
The clock’s ticking but the wage don’t rise
Rent climbs higher like a kite to skies
They own the table and they own the dice
We just get crumbs
They devour the pies
[Bridge]
Set fire to my TV
The news is gloom
Talk of battles bursting into doom
They sell fear like it’s perfume we wear
But breathe too deep
You choke on despair
[Chorus]
Where did the promise of the dreamer go
It’s buried under bills and winter snow
The rich folks climb while we stay low
My soul’s heavy with the weight I know
[Verse 3]
Satan’s lurking in lullabies sung
Tearing the hearts of the old and young
The streets grow cold while they seek their fame
Another pawn falls
They don’t know the game
