Towers so Tall

from Towers so Tall by Heliophile

lyrics

Down on their knees, bled dry and broken
Disparity of wealth, inferiority unspoken
Skyboxes rise, high and foreboding
Classes divided, society eroding

Dignity defiled and kindness torn
From tainted child a tyrant born

As charity's bribed with cash incentives
Soldiers of fortune, their strikes are pre-emptive
We're outsourcing wars under the table
Bomb shelters built for the wealthy and able

Dignity defiled and kindness torn
From tainted child a tyrant born

I declare to the vain in your towers so tall
If divided we stand, then united we'll fall
In the day, when it rained, it fell down on us all
We call upon you to tear down this wall
In the race for the wealth that so proudly you hail
Take the fast lane to where commonality fails
Before it's too late we must all tip the scales
A market society puts our souls up for sale
