Lyrics

Once a man of wealth and pride
In a mansion he used to reside
High above in his ivory tower
He fell to the lure of my power

I whispered promises sweet and sly
He couldn't resist, he didn't try
With each demand he gave in more
Now his riches lie on my floor

Broken and bankrupt, lost it all
From his high perch he did fall
Broken and bankrupt, under my sway
Gave his fortune away day by day

He used to drive cars that gleamed so bright
Now he walks alone in the dead of night
From opulent beast to empty plate
He traded it all for my dark gates

I held his secrets, his deepest fears
Each payment made through silent tears
My grip tightened with every plea
Until his wealth was all given to me

Broken and bankrupt, lost it all
From his high perch he did fall
Broken and bankrupt, under my sway
Gave his fortune away day by day

He sees the ruins of his past
Realizes my hold was fast
But it's too late to turn around
In my web he's forever bound

Broken and bankrupt, lost it all
From his high perch he did fall
Broken and bankrupt, under my sway
Gave his fortune away day by day

Now he lives with nothing left
A testament to his own theft
In my shadow he remains
Broken and bankrupt, bound by my chains
