Shadows of Greed (Alt Mix)

Underneath the neon glow

Secrets hide where shadows grow

Whispers seep through cracks so tight

Deals are made in dead of night

Chains of gold they bind so strong

Truth gets lost where the wires are long

A system built on pockets deep

Corruption wakes while the world's asleep

Smoke-filled rooms with poisoned air

Promises sold

But who's aware

False smiles flash

The game is set

The more you pay the less regret

Ticking clocks

Invisible hands

Shifting power like shifting sands

Behind the curtain

A twisted play

Where trust gets lost

Led astray

Chains of gold they bind so strong

Truth gets lost where the wires are long

A system built on pockets deep

Corruption wakes while the world's asleep

Echoes ring in hollow halls

Greed crafts words

It builds the walls

The higher you climb

The darker it gets

Pay the toll or face the threats
