Golden Facade Lyrics

Once a gilded tower, now a crumbling shell

Echoes of power, in a self-made hell

Faded glories linger, in a hall of lies

Aging fingers clutching at a throne of flies

Golden facade, masking decay

Whispering shadows, in the light of day

Clinging to illusions, of a bygone time

A fallen giant, in a pantomime

Mirrored halls reflecting, a distorted view

In the echo chamber, only loyal few

Once the voice of thunder, now a faltering cry

A puppet to ambition, beneath a painted sky

Golden facade, masking decay

Whispering shadows, in the light of day

Clinging to illusions, of a bygone time

A fallen giant, in a pantomime

Promises like ashes, scattered in the wind

The empire built on bluster, now a weakened grin

Specters of the past, haunt the twilight years

In the court of smoke and mirrors, truth disappears

Golden facade, masking decay

Whispering shadows, in the light of day

Clinging to illusions, of a bygone time

A fallen giant, in a pantomime

Once a name of power, now a whispered doubt

In the fading twilight, the flame flickers out

Golden dreams of yesteryears, turn to rust

In the twilight's fading light, all empires turn to dust
