DIAMOND MINE

Verse 1

Greed ridden men, counting money all their lives
Clawing their way into acceptance and pride
Their clouded reality polluting their minds
From the pain and the suffering surrounding their world

Their wealth wont save them from their fate
The more that they grab
The further they sink
Into a pit
of despairing decay

Chorus

Gripping so tightly to a pointless existence
So tightly to a meaningless end
No one to witness you turn great
No one to witness you crash and burn

Verse 2

Guilt ridden minds, scowling at misfortune
Lining their pockets with failure and lies
Clutching your diamond mine fed by disaster
Trudging your way to a miserable grave

Their wealth wont save them from their fate
The more that they grab
The further they sink
Into a pit
of despairing decay
