Lust and Greed

Lust and greed drives the hearts of man
We get our fingers into everything we can

We have all we need yet we want more
And we have no idea for what is in store

All this lust and greed has Calloused our soul
In the process we have lost all control

There is no longer humanity
Have we finally lost all sanity?

What no one can see through the gloom
Is the dark impending doom

It is closes all around
It soon will completely surround

We have nothing with which to fight
Even though this is a battle we did incite 

We are no longer the light
We have become a blight
