The consequence of greed.

 

The skin peels away right before your eyes

Inner decay, the flesh simply falls away

This is the price you pay for all your lies

Bones exposed tell the truth for all to see

A human being you ceased to be

Bag of bones, you’re a skeleton soldier defending a lost cause

Greater men than you have thought to pause

Corrupt fingernails fall off your fingertips

Mangy knotted hair falls off with tears and rips

Once a decent person, you sold your soul

The accumulation of wealth was your only goal

Now look at you, pitiful creature

Your empty animated corpse is your only feature

The brain dissolves into a formless puddle of matter

Feeding of your carcass the vulture’s grow fatter

Marching forth with your wicked cross held on high

In vain you search for the proof of your long held lie

Corrupt skeleton, you worshipper of a non-existent deity

Holding fast to your long since decayed fealty

Bit by bit your flesh falls of your gaunt frame

You confused your faith with shame

Muscles begin to fail your command

You’re a skeleton soldier defending the lost cause of man

On the outside you appear to be real

But deep down inside your rotting flesh there’s nothing you feel

Long after you should have died you continue your pointless march

The neck the last vestige of life is burning and parched

How much longer can you hold to dead ideals

Before you realize it’s you that caused the pain that society feels
