They build their towers, touch the skies,
Preaching freedom, but it’s all lies.
The golden calf they raise so high,
Promises life, but we just die.
The markets roar, the nations kneel,
Bound by a system made of steel.
Kings and rulers play their game,
But the cost is blood, and the prize is shame.
(Chorus)
Oh, the beast wears a crown of greed,
Feeding off our endless need.
It’s not a man, it’s the machine,
The world economy, cold and mean.
With chains of gold, it drags us down,
Building empires while we all drown.
(Verse 2)
They sell us dreams, but lock the door,
A better life comes at the poor’s expense and more.
The weight of debt, the cost of sin,
We’re fighting battles we’ll never win.
The rich get richer, the poor stay bound,
On broken backs, empires are found.
They blind our eyes with fleeting gain,
While the masses cry in endless pain.
(Chorus)
Oh, the beast wears a crown of greed,
Feeding off our endless need.
It’s not a man, it’s the machine,
The world economy, cold and mean.
With chains of gold, it drags us down,
Building empires while we all drown.
(Bridge)
And who will rise, who will see,
The truth behind this slavery?
Not a throne, not a sword,
But a system claiming it’s the Lord.
Stand and fight, break the spell,
Or sink beneath this living hell.
The Antichrist hides in plain sight,
It’s the chains of gold we must ignite.
(Chorus)
Oh, the beast wears a crown of greed,
Feeding off our endless need.
It’s not a man, it’s the machine,
The world economy, cold and mean.
With chains of gold, it drags us down,
Building empires while we all drown.
(Outro)
But there’s a fire that still burns bright,
A hope to shatter the darkest night.
Break the chains, reclaim the land,
Together we’ll rise, hand in hand.
The Antichrist may rule today,
But truth and love will find their way.
