The System - Halcyon Way

Leverage on leverage*

The engines of wealth

Fuel for the fire

It consumes itself

System collapses

Bodies fall from the sky

Death’s angel passes by

Leaves you asking why

A spike impales your soul

All your worth has been inborn

The fall from grace so hard and cold

The system?

you’ve lost control

Stepping off the cliffs

A striking leap of faith

Economies built on nothing less

Than belief and the will to create

System collapses

Bodies fall from the sky

Light of the world enters in

She reaches for the sky

Building castles upon nothing

Building towers on the sand

Chasing phantoms through the hall

Waiting for the axes to fall

The system?

you’ve lost control
