Temples & Shrines

[Verse 1]
The night is drawing nigh
With violence on the cell phone screen
The tyrants flaunt their might
And prey upon the ones unseen

[Chorus]
'Cause man seeks the highest office
To find that there's never enough
The temples and shrines of our progress
Were built upon backs of the ones we say we love

[Verse 2]
Parading through our days
Comforted within our means
We trade our time for things
Scratch the itch and then repeat

[Chorus]
'Cause man seeks the highest office
To find that there's never enough
The temples and shrines of our progress
Were built upon backs of the ones we say we love

[Bridge]
When the bough breaks and the castles falls
Those sinking stones, who built them all?
When the king slips from a throne so tall
Those stones cry out, "Who built them all?"
"Who built them all?"
When the king slips from a throne so tall
Those stones cry out, "Who built them all?"

[Outro]
'Cause man seeks the highest office
To find that there's never enough
