lyrics

Avarice will steal your soul
Committing everything we are for our wealth
A feeling of helplessness conceived in a passion for greed
I tell you now those are the roots of a darkest evil
Everlasting hunger for prosperity
Our lust for more will bury us
Leaving us to rot in selfish filth

Surely I can save myself, money will deliver me
I’ll construct my own ladder from the bones of the weak
The poor, the unlucky, the small
Surely I can save myself

The love of money is the root of all evil

Awakening temptations leading us astray
We have pierced ourselves with many sorrows
Suffer alone, construct a fleeting empire, a worthless legacy

Rotting in riches, we’re sick and dying
Cursed by the wages of sin
Rotting in riches, we’re sick and dying
Drowned in the ocean of things we are buying

The wealth of the world is toxic
A hollow illusion to be destroyed
By the moths and vermin of this filthy place
Store up all your treasures in Jesus' name
For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be

God let us not be buried, that is my prayer today
God let us not be buried by our greedy ways

NO

I will not be buried by my greedy ways
My riches will rot, Christ will set me free

Rotting in riches, we’re sick and dying
Cursed by the wages of sin
Rotting in riches, we’re sick and dying
Drowned in the ocean of things we are buying

Thanks be to God for eternal treasure
Unending wealth which cannot be measured
Built from the love of my God above
Made free to us by Jesus' blood

God will fulfill your needs
Worry not another day
Time is a gift of value
Holy Spirit show us the way

Love your God, love one another, only Jesus Christ can free you
