Ancient black and silent fire

Within your hearts creates desire

To covet far beyond your need

The embers of eternal Greed



Destroy the Earth and cloud the sky

Fill your chests with other's lives

A Midas curse - A deadly shroud

And "all for what?" I ask you now



Armies fill Towers of Greed

Ultimate drones of deceit

Selling you won hopes and dreams

For nothing is nothing it seems



Chorus:

Godsend

The Crimson wind

You'll die with nothing

In the end ...

There is only pain within

There is only pain for sin



Still trapped inside the hourglass

Toil and break our backs 'till death

Chained to our dying breath

Behind the mask of loneliness



Forever burning golden pyre

Weeping tears of crimson flame

For ashes that shall bear your name



So I ask you once again

Why must you forever exchange

The peace that gold can buy

For the vanity that it may
