Pillars of Tragedy Lyrics

The pillars of the modern world
Raised with bodies
It is a tragedy
A snake bitting its own tail

You live without limits
You think you control everything
Your money and your fame precedes you
You think you're the king of the world

Cities with tall skyscrapers, luxury and enjoyment
More money than you could spend in ten lifetimes
Tons of bills

Your hands stained with blood
Your hands stained with blood

Your hypocrisy won't let you see any farther
Cause every bill you own has names and surnames
Buried, incinerated or drowned in the sea
You will carry the weight of their lives on your shoulders

Help the world get rid of itself
The metal pierces flesh
And the fire burns the bones
Too much weight to carry
Remember, you will get what you deserve
It all comes back, like a snake that bites its tail

The pillars of the modern world
Raised with bodies
It is a tragedy
A snake biting its own tail

When evil knocks at your door, balance the scales
Now you mourn the loss of your children
Because the bullets that pierced their little bodies, bear your signature
