Oh look at you
you poor rich man
all you have is money
everyday appears sunny
so you laugh like its funny
pious as you are
your shoulders erect as you walk
you boast about your riches
so no-one could talk
but its such a thought to think
that in the blink
your reality would prove to be so bleak
so desolate
your castle was built upon walls of sand
so when the waves came crashing in
you couldn't stand
and you can't stand the fact
that no-one else can be apprehended 
for such a silent crime as this 
to appear to love
all along you were pretending 
you pay the price
but its the price you can't pay
so instead
truth would take all your dreams away 
with the morning sway
you live to see another dreadful day
atleast you're known as "the brave"
who one day was a king
the next day was a slave.
