[Verse]
Golden robe frayed, stitched in greed’s needle
Chants echo hollow, the temple turns feeble
He traded om for commas, peace for the steeple
Eyes dimmed in neon, heart lost to upheaval
Hands that once prayed now stack the paper towers
Mantras drowned out by the hum of power
Mountains whisper secrets, he chose to ignore
Tibetan winds weep for the soul they implore
[Chorus]
He walked the path, now paved in dollars
Wisdom sold for gold, the silence hollers
Monk no more, just a shadow in the mirror
The chants grow faint, the end draws nearer
[Verse 2]
Sacred beads clink like coins in his palm
Throat hums a hymn, but the tune’s all wrong
Karma dressed in suits, deals struck at dawn
Buddha’s eyes cry while the world looks on
Ego's a beast, it feasts on the serene
Turned the lotus black, turned the pure obscene
The peaks once pure, now echo his schemes
Corruption’s a mantra, breaking ancient dreams
[Bridge]
Throat sings low, echoes deep
Ancestors stir in their eternal sleep
Mountains crumble, skies turn bleak
Power’s a fire that burns what it seeks
