the fire within

it eats you up
devouring you silently
and you do not scream
because you can't

it eats you up
all the good inside
your kindness, your honesty
masked with hate and pride

you seek true power
you seek absolute control
you want to reign over them
and their stupid, foolish game

they call it greed
you call it need
you don't listen to them
you'd do anything for it

anything, yes, anything
even killing, even murder
anything just to win
anything, yes, anything

it boils through your veins
you can't count on anyone now
you can only count on yourself
yes, that's what you think

that's what you think as you detonate the bomb
that's what you think as you threaten to kill your daughter
they're all against you
you can't count on any of them

they don't have it in them
to rule and to reign
but you do
yes you do

the fire within
rages through you
you feel your desire
you need to have it

you need to win
you're the only one that can
it's in your blood
you just need to frighten them

the fire within
can kill
it can drive you mad
or even worse still

they call it greed
you call it need

you call it need
the fire within is greed.
