@JohnPeekstok and I co-wrote these lyrics last night and are working on the music today. I have a melody in mind.
We will upload our demo later today.
Twas the year 2022 and
a deadly plague bedevils the land
Rich and poor alike afflicted and damned
But the poor man's curse- Doubles his need
In order to feed the rich man's greed
Harken back to days of old
Tales of heroes and villains told
Soldiers lay dying while the king counts his gold
The poor man's curse- Doubles his deed
In order to feed the rich man's greed
Pyramids, palaces, aqueducts, shrines
A life of servitude for the men in the mines
Princes and priests exacting their fines
The poor man's curse- Doubles his speed
In order to feed the rich man's greed
A captain of industry in his high citadel
His factories poison his workers well
No thought for the Earth- where his children will dwell
The poor man's curse - Doubles his seed
In order to feed the rich man's greed
Politics, gangsters, corruption ensues
Insurance adjusters with nothing to lose,
The cure within reach but the competitor sues
The poor man's curse -Doubles his mead
He fights to the death against the rich mans greed
