What happened to your world
To the homes safe hearth
With the dream of prosperity and success story you were worth?
For the lie, even if white
Deceived your hope
And snared you like a clever fox piece by piece
The hope we light carbonizes in fires
One night at a time, minute by minute
In just seconds the universe will perish
And everything is over
Everything is over
You grip for straws
And stare like a fool
When the mirage of wealth turns into debt and loans
No, the lie was not true
Even though the heart once burned
So intense was the longing, was it worth what you found?
The hope we light carbonizes in fires
One night at a time, minute by minute
In just seconds the universe will perish
And everything is over
Everything is over
With guilt there is shame
That's how envy grows
From sorrow you got tons, but from gold you got not a gram
The burned child knows
That the fire burns hot
You learn the heard way, through bitter tears
The hope we light carbonizes in fires
One night at a time, minute by minute
In just seconds the universe will perish
And everything is over
Everything is over
