Verse 1:
They say a little is not enough
Too much is what is truly desired
They just play the game too rough
That is how they are wired

PreChorus:
Everyone knows what goes around
Can one day come unwound

Chorus:
Greed is the force that drives all kings
It twists the logic in their brain
Makes them do very bad things
Greed is what drives a king insane

Verse 2:
Gotta have it all, is our mantra 
Nobody wants or cares for tantra
Just fill our coffers with desire
Pick them off like a bird on a wire

Repeat PreChorus
Repeat Chorus
Solo
Breakdown
Repeat Chorus X3

Awesome

WOW. excellent all around gents.. 

Thanks Tim.

Cool! Shout out to Hugo!

Wow....this Rocks!! Excellent performances and production. I'm greedy for a 3rd listen....
Great way to end 2017!!
Cheers lads!!

very very creative tune!! I really like this....lots of great stuff going on...very Proggy...which I like. I think i'd try to add a whisper track in the verse...make her a tad more understandable. love love love the chorus (if you can call it that) 
 
Great job all the way round!

This sounds less dense and more open than it did the first time round peeps (Ed).

Daryk,
 
Your keys were the icing on the cake for sure.
 
 
But then I say that to all the guys.

I thought that I commented on the other forum but some how I missed everything.  And my comment is WOW!  The performance is great, the production is spot on (according to my old ears), and the lyrics are terrific (I am running out of descriptive words).  There is indeed a lot going on in this one.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Freddy

Yes I did. Our family time did not start until 4:00PM (away from home) so I had the studio time in the morning. 

Late listen...
 
That's some heavy stuff...  nice!  I liked how it just bordered on prog without actually going there.    Drums do sound really good, but pretty much everything does - the mix seems to suit the song well.

Omg that is solid. Very tight performances, especially the drums and guitars. Well done!

Thanks for the positive feedback, and for listening cwestmont.
All the best.

Serious_Noize!
Enjoyed hearing this one very much Mr Bapu!
 
I don't know all the details, I just listened and like what I heard. 
 
A timely pause somewhere in the start of the second verse might would be my recommendation, why? Because it makes you think : "What just happened" and I was digging this tune. Actually I would add some more pauses in the song for that reason. It's very fluid. But then again I would save that for the end of the song. 

Those are my primitive thoughts, what can I say though, I AM GREEDY!!!!!!! Hahahahahaa
 
This song is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!! The mix is freaking great!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm trying to be mean, but it just sounds great!!!! Speaker wise, I would just raise the treble a slight bit and that's it. 
 
Enjoyed hearing this one very much Mr. Bapu!!!!!!!
