Way back in ancient days |
|
I took the shape of a golden idol |
|
They knelt in front on me |
|
Worshipped me prayed to me |
|
I saw the greed in their eyes |
|
Longing - fame and fortune |
|
Yearning - wine and women |
|
Craving - gold and happiness |
|
Demanding - eternal life |
|
Ever since time began |
|
I have been the curse of men |
|
I saw them burning down |
|
Cities and countries |
|
They killed millions of men |
|
To please me, to calm me down |
|
I saw the greed in their eyes |
|
I've been around for so long |
|
Their faith and devotion make me strong |
|
They've prayed at my altar |
|
With heads bowed real low |
|
And I've been around |
|
Wherever they go |
|
Wherever they go |
|
Until the end |
|
The end of time |
|
There's no escape |
|
How I like your |
|
Sacrifices |
|
Ever since time began |
