The day is coming you'll forget your gold
You'll throw it in the streets like a sacrifice of old
But you won't be able to buy what you most desire: another sunrise to avoid the fire
No, it won't protect you from the crowd of sins - they've come to get you
No, it won't protect you from the state you're in when it's time to go
The day is coming you'll forget your power
There'll be be no favours to trade in that final hour
No political talk, you have reached the top
Promises you didn't keep are hanging around - they won't protect you from the pack of lies you spread in this town when it's time to go
The time is coming, you'll remember the day and every bit of truth that you threw away
And every bit of love that you crucified will be coming back to haunt you like a jilted bride
It'll come to get you - don't you worry 'bout that
No, it won't forget you
It will surely find you exactly where you're at when it's time to go
