about

Lydia was an ancient Iron Age kingdom in Asia Minor, and was the first civilization to use coins for currency around 600 BC. Money has been creating problems ever since....

lyrics

LYDIA
Lyrics by Fred Morg

The quest for currency is brutal - Turns men into beasts
They clutch belongings in their talons - On others' weaknesses they feast
From its inception man has lusted - Lures man into snares
The center pillar of existence - For what else does he even care?

GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR
THE PROPHECY
SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF
BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA

We butcher flesh in honor of it - Fed off the sickness
We put ourselves in danger for it - Cannibals devouring emptiness
And cursed by want, it takes us over - Strike blind the true needs
By forging evil from the alloy - The seeds of self-indulgent deeds

GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR
THE PROPHECY
SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF
BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA

Money - Rules the kingdom - Power
Awarded to the wealthy - Never has time changed this
We struggle on - and fight for next to none

Steady rivers flowing through mountains of shame and deceit
Envy swimming upstream
Some want it so badly they start to fray
Civilizations left to decay

So what has currency shown us? - The faces underneath
The lack of trust has taken over - Fuel for the raging flames of greed
So in this moment man must challenge his pride to shut down
All that these coins can ever offer - More weight to crush you to the ground

GREED TORN AND BLINDLY KILLING FOR
THE PROPHECY
SO SAYETH THE ANCIENT CURSE OF
BLOOD-STAINED COINS OF LYDIA

Money - Rules the kingdom - Power
Awarded to the wealthy - Never has time changed this
We struggle on - and fight for next to none
