[Verse 1]
E I am a simple Aman
E I've seen kingdoms Bspan
E I've seen empire's Arise and fall
And turn my Ediamonds all into Bsand
E I scorned the body
The Aflesh the bloody
And tossed my Emoney on down the Bdrain
E I thought I'd feel so much Alighter than air
When I aEbolished my earthly Bchains
[Chorus]
But Asomething more is Bcalling me
And I Ethink my Beyes can sAee it
I Athink my hands can Btouch it
[Verse 2]
So asking Eyou, Lord aAbove
E As you pile the plates Bup
E You gave them bread, you Agave them water
Then you Etold them what they could and they Bcouldn't touch
E I scorned desire
But Anow the fire is growing Ehigher into the Bsky
So I Erefuse to simply lock myAself away
And let this Eheaven on earth pass Bby
[Chorus]
There's no Aglory in Bgreed and want
But there's Enone in Bpoverty Aeither
Like they Agive you salvation and Bdamnation
And I take Eneither
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
I Aonce said it's not about Briches or rags
And Enow I Bdo remAember
That these Apuddles of wax won't give me Bcandles back
And won't Ekeep you warm Bin DecAember
So we'll Astorm the castle
Declare the Bkingdom rich
And do Eaway with Bslaves and Amasters
No longer Ado we want the sleep of Beternity
To come 'round Efaster
EFaster, Efaster, Efaster....
AHey!
