Groom of Corruption

In the shadows where truths collide,

Whispers echo, no place to hide.

Go back home, sort your own,

You had a good thing but now it's blown.

Promises linger like smoke in the air,

But the laughter hides secrets, a life unfair.

The groom of corruption, don’t you see,

Cromwell’s ghost, it’s haunting me.

Gullible souls, they prey on the weak,

Innocent children, too scared to speak.

Why is this happening, bribes in the night?

Power evolves, casting shadows in light.

Our freedom slips through the fingers of sin,

This cycle of greed, where do we begin?

Barbershops humming, the skyline's tune,

While million-pound dreams vanish too soon.

Drive in a Rover, custom made for a show,

They laugh in your face while your heart feels low.

Can’t drown it down in a bottle or glass,

Alcohol’s dance, it won't let you pass.

With every clink, they take a part of your will,

In a world of their making, it’s chaos still.

Corruption whispers, and power will call,

While society crumbles, we try not to fall.

But the leaders, they smile, deceit on their lips,

Holding the reins of a world that eclipses.

Why is this happening, bribes in the night?

Power evolves, casting shadows in light.

Our freedom slips through the fingers of sin,

This cycle of greed, where do we begin?

So go back home, find your own way,

In the echoes of laughter, let the truth sway.

For the groom of corruption won't set you free,

But together we rise, reclaiming our glee.
