human greed
We stand upon a mountain of souls
Lost to the endless greed of man
Never to be found
Locked away for eternity
The selfishness of a world
Filled with discuss and hate
As the human race
Depends on it's faith
It will show upon it's face
All it has done in disgrace
So ponder on this
As you read
What is your motivation
Is it fame is it glory
It is all just human greed
