midas in reverse

the open road

spoils there for the taking

lose all dead load

leave your abode

grade up in the making

this you've been told

as much as one

can find feed relentless greed

no bother disregard

just get more than you need

next thing you know

you're riding in a hearse

those struggles

turned to shit

all of a sudden you're

king midas in reverse

shadow howlin'

one last time

reaper scowling

devoured lost in time

dead age dawning

lay to waste

down you're falling

hellfire embraced

the road is closed

no pass no way back there

path undisclosed

what you don't know

betrayal this you will bear

eternal ghost

now that you're left behind lost all you hold dear

redemption sacrifice worth none you're stuck right here

for all you know

you're riding in a hearse

those struggles turned to shit

all of a sudden you're

king midas in reverse

shadow howlin'

one last time

reaper scowling

devoured lost in time

dead age dawning

lay to waste

down you're falling

hellfire embraced

now you have slipped

at last

the bonds of time

the wasted years of the past

are not undone

you will find

there are other times

other lives

beyond that veil of death

all of a sudden you're

king midas in reverse

shadow howlin'

one last time

reaper scowling

devoured lost in time

dead age dawning

laid to waste

down you're falling

hellfire embraced
