Of Silk and Straw - Resolve

For a change

Take a look at yourself

Cause I see

The way you look at me

Living on the same land

Breathing the same air

We were born

In the same place

But raised in a different way

In the end

You and I

We’re made of the same flesh

So keep your fucking disdain

Wealth is not what you seem to think

I’ve never seen a hearse followed by a safe

Wealth is so much more than this

But you don’t seem to understand

Overflowing pockets

But you’re so fucking empty

Drowning in your arrogance

I swear you’ll never fool me

Born in silk

Born in straw

Everyone has a path to draw

Heir to the throne

Farmer’s son

We’ll all end up at the same point

Silk or straw

Yet the soil beneath is stronger than us all

Pulling the strings in the shadow

We can see through your disguise

And when the final judgement starts

Well trust me, you will face the facts

A divided structure

Led by men with no face, no heart

From the top of their silver tower

Watching us all fall apart

The day will come

The shelter will turn to mausoleum

Man is a wolf to man

You can’t run

You can’t hide

For the reaper picks no side

Made of silk

Made of straw

Everyone has a path to draw

Heir to the throne

Farmer’s son

We’ll all end up at the same point

Silk or straw

Doomed, crushed, plagued

Under the pressure to succeed

Worship the breach in social classes

United only by a common fear
