Personal Riches Songtext
von Axis Mundi

I will conquer the world
I work all day to reach my goals
I′ll sacrifice my life
Unending and without remorse
I will become a god
My wealth outshines the brightest star
A self-made hero of the ruling elite

I fight the odds alone
No one even comes close to me
I can lift every stone
Out of the way or bent the knee
I will show you the way
Work for your life and raise the bar
A self-made hero of the ruling elite


I will conquer the world
I'll learn the truth about your life
I′ll sacrifice my life
A study of the human mind
I will become a god
My knowledge truly knows no bounds
A self-made hero of the ruling elite

I fight the odds alone
I know the history of earth
I can lift every stone
About your birth and all it's worth
I will show you the way
My wisdom burdens me with fear
A self-made hero of the ruling elite

Slow down and reach inside
Are you truly blind
This crusade will cost you your life
No wealth is worth the price you pay
You'll gain power and might
But you′ll lose your mind
Is this truly right
Can′t you stop this fight
Beware or succumb to the night


I will conquer the world
I want to rest my weary eyes
I'll sacrifice my life
I really try but cannot pay the price
I will become a god
Slowly I drift into the dark
A self-made hero of the ruling elite

I fight the odds alone
It′s hard but I want even more
I can lift every stone
I fall hard to the floor
I will show you the way
Although a blur infests my eyes
A self-made hero of the ruling elite

Slow down and reach inside
Are you truly blind
This crusade will cost you your life
No wealth is worth the price you pay
You'll gain power and might
But you′ll lose your mind
Is this truly right
Can't you stop this fight
Beware or succumb to the night

Materialistic fetishism
Atheist idolatry
Suicidal greed
Capitalist insanity

Philosophic despotism
Self-centered philanthropy
Narcissistic epistemology
Self-destructive science

I think, I am, slowly
I think I am losing my mind!

Slow down and reach inside

Slow down and reach inside
Are you truly blind
This crusade will cost you your life
No wealth is worth the price you pay
You′ll gain power and might
But you'll lose your mind
Is this truly right
Can't you stop this fight
Beware or succumb to the night

You′ll gain power and might
But you′ll lose your mind
Is this truly right
Can't you stop this fight
Beware or succumb to the night
