A Fortune in Lies Lyrics


"For the first time in a long time,

everything was right in my world,

and then I woke up."

I can remember when in the

unity of our five day sessions,

Not even once did we hear the siren song.

What kind of imagination,

asleep in some lyrical coma.

Who's vain futile memory

could have been so wrong?

You can make a fortune in lies,

you can keep a giant alive.

You can ride the red

until everybody smiles.

A trifling euphoria was

such an untimely religion.

Maybe your life can explain

the reason for my indecision.

Here is a poor man,

the heart of this monster creation.

He said we both will be heroes

and I was led into temptation.

You can make a fortune in lies,

you can keep a giant alive.

You can ride the red

until everybody smiles.

Can you show me your gold

and your silver?

A hero in frozen water.

Now you've made a fortune in lies

and you kept a giant alive.

You rode the red, you rode the red!
