Money flows like rivers, but it takes a toll
Cheap energy fuels dreams, but the risk is bold
Finite means, can't sustain this endless roll
Crumbling castles, built on shifting sands of old
So we chase, we chase the phantom gold
Feeling heavy, bearing burdens untold
As the oil runs dry, we scramble and we fold
Dreams of plenty clash with stories too old
In fragile hands, the future we hold
Winds of change in songs, of truth so bold
In shadows of tall towers, stories yet untold
Balance beams break, under pressure uncontrolled
Echoes of the past, in fortunes bought and sold
Sands of time slipping, our grip begins to fold
So we strive, we strive for futures known
With hearts heavy, whispers of doubts thrown
In the heart of the storm, we barter with fate
Currencies of hope, weighed against the gate
Behind the prosperous veil, there's an intricate bait
Fragile as glass, this perception we create
And oh, the winds of change, they call
Echoing through endless halls
Silent whispers of markets rise and fall
In cycles never ending, we heed the call
Desperate alchemy, we turn night into day
Ignoring the foundation, as it slips away
And we chase, we chase that phantom gold
With hearts burdened by stories left untold
And in the fading light, truth will crystallize
That beneath the gloss and gold, true worth lies
Winds of change sweep, 'cross the open skies
Revealing fragile dreams, built on compromise
Hold tight, as the shadows grow
In fields of green, where true values flow
In corridors of power, whispers grow loud
Debates of scarcity weave through the crowd
Fueling desires with every market swing
In the shadow of towers, voices start to sing
And oh, the winds of change, they call
Cries echoing in these endless halls
In backrooms dim where deals are made
Calculated risks, but the fears don't fade
Risk and reward, such a fine, sharp blade
Balancing fortunes, but the stakes invade
The price of growth is more than we can gauge
Finite worlds in an infinite cage
As dawn breaks, shadows twist and fade
Silent corridors, where deals are weighed
In the heart of the city, where dreams cascade
We build our hopes on fragile threads, afraid
And we chase, we chase that phantom gold
With hearts burdened by stories left untold
In the mirrors of the past, reflections tell
Of promises made, in stories we sell
And as resources wane, cracks begin to swell
Underneath the glamour, there’s a hard-knocked shell
So we strive, we strive for futures bright
But in the twilight, we feel the fight
