Crown of Commerce, Pt. 1 Video (MV)

The streets are paved with promises, gold in the air
But the crown sits heavy on the ones who don't care
They sell us a dream, but it's wrapped in a lie
While they count all the riches as we just get by
They hide behind curtains, puppets on strings
Pulling all the levers, controlling the kings
A kingdom built on trade and deceit
Where the hungry can't eat and the powerful meet
They wear the Crown of Commerce, built on our backs
Ruling the empire, we're lost in the cracks
It's all just a game, they keeping us small
While the Crown of Commerce controls it all
Bow to the throne, but it's made of steel
Chasing the profit, it's never real
They trade our souls for a few more coins
While the poor keep marching, stuck in the noise
They buy up the land, they own the seas
While we fight for scraps, begging on our knees
They fuel the fire, ignite the flame
While we're stuck in the struggle, they're playing the game
With a smile and a handshake, they sell us the lie
But we're left in the dust as their empires rise
They wear the Crown of Commerce, built on our backs
Ruling the empire, we're lost in the cracks
It's all just a game, they keeping us small
While the Crown of Commerce controls it all
Bow to the throne, but it's made of steel
Chasing the profit, it's never real
They wear the Crown of Commerce, built on our backs
Ruling the empire, we're lost in the cracks
It's all just a game, they keeping us small
While the Crown of Commerce controls it all
Bow to the throne, but it's made of steel
Chasing the profit, it's never real
Look at the riches, the wealth they hoard
It's the people who suffer, but they're never ignored
They print the money, they control the fate
While we dance in the ruins, they keep the gate
The crown is too heavy for the ones at the top
It's all built on greed, and it's ready to drop
But they smile and they laugh, they never know peace
While the rest of us suffer, begging for release
They've stolen the future, erased all the past
But the crown they wear, it won't last
The empire of gold's just a house of lies
Built on the backs of the ones who despise
They wear the Crown of Commerce, built on our backs
Ruling the empire, we're lost in the cracks
It's all just a game, they keeping us small
While the Crown of Commerce controls it all
Bow to the throne, but it's made of steel
Chasing the profit, it's never real
So take off the crown, let the empire fall
The people will rise and we'll tear down the walls
No more gold, no more lies
We'll take back the truth, and the Crown will die.
