Of Silk and Straw Songtext
von Resolve

For a change take a look at yourself
′Cause I see the way you look at me
Living on the same land
Breathing the same air

We were born in the same place
But raised in a different way
In the end, you and I
We're made of the same flesh
So keep your fucking disdain

Wealth is not what you seem to think
I′ve never seen a hearse followed by a safe
Wealth is so much more than this
But you don't seem to understand

Overflowing pockets (Overflowing pockets)
But you're so fucking empty (You′re so fucking empty)
Drowning in your arrogance
I swear you′ll never fool me


Born in silk, born in straw
Everyone has a path to draw
Heir to the throne, farmer's son
We′ll all end up at the same point
Silk or straw
Yet the soil beneath is stronger than us all

Pulling the strings in the shadow
We can see through your disguise
And when the final judgement starts
Well, trust me, you will face the facts

A divided structure
Led by men with no face, no heart
From the top of their silver tower
Watching us all fall apart
The day will come
The shelter will turn to mausoleum
Man is a wolf to man

You can't run, you can′t hide
For the reaper picks no side

Made of silk, made of straw
Everyone has a path to draw
Heir to the throne, farmer's son
We′ll all end up at the same point
Silk or straw


Doomed, crushed, plagued
Under the pressure to succeed
Worship the breach in social classes
United only by a common fear
