Wrought with Power Lyrics

In the best of mankind

Lies a truth pure and bright

But when the shadows of power call

Even angels lose their light

They start with honest dreams

Intentions clear as day

But power whispers in the night

Leading them astray

Even the good can grow rotten

When power's allure has them caught in

The lust for control the taste of might

It twists the day into the darkest night

Oh the good can turn rotten with power's sweet kiss

From the highest of virtues down to the abyss

When a heart that was noble turns dark and cold

The corruption of power's a sight to behold

The climb to the top with intentions so bright

But the throne at the summit can darken the light

Every step up the heart grows a bit blacker

Losing your light your truth to this moral hijacker

Leaders once humble now lost in the haze

Of influence greed and endless praise

A throne can corrupt a crown can blind

Leave the heart of the good empty unkind

Even the good can grow rotten

When power's allure has them caught in

The lust for control the taste of might

It twists the day into the darkest night

Oh the good can turn rotten with power's sweet kiss

From the highest of virtues down to the abyss

When a heart that was noble turns dark and cold

The corruption of power's a sight to behold

From kindness to cruelty

From justice to greed

The path of power's lure

Is one hard to heed

Corruption whispers sweet nothings in the ear

Promising control but breed nothing but fear

The more they have, the more they crave

The price of power's a soul now depraved

Once heroes, now villains in this twisted tale

The path they chose where did they derail

Good intentions paved the road to decay

When power's the game all morals fray

So beware oh beware of the power's lure

It can corrupt even those who were pure

Let this be a warning a song to recall

Power's infatuation can corrupt us all

Even the good can grow rotten

When power's allure has them caught in

The lust for control the taste of might

It twists the day into the darkest night

Oh the good can turn rotten with power's sweet kiss

From the highest of virtues down to the abyss

When a heart that was noble turns dark and cold

The corruption of power's a sight to behold
