“Blood for Oil”
(Verse 1)
Paved with gold, the road to control,
A dynasty forged in blackened coal.
Pipelines stretch through the sands of time,
Empires built on the dollar sign.
Underneath the surface, fires burn,
Deals in shadows, no lessons learned.
Barrels spin where the blood runs deep,
The price of power, the cost we keep.
(Chorus)
Blood for oil, the currency of kings,
Turning lives to profit, see what power brings.
Behind the veil, where the puppets toil,
They write the future in blood for oil.
(Verse 2)
From Standard Oil to the modern day,
A legacy born in the games they play.
Hidden hands guide the world’s design,
The meek inherit what the strong decline.
Fields of black stretch across the lands,
Fueled by the greed of unseen hands.
A kingdom rises where the pipelines flow,
Buried truths they hope we’ll never know.
(Chorus)
Blood for oil, the currency of kings,
Turning lives to profit, see what power brings.
Behind the veil, where the puppets toil,
They write the future in blood for oil.
(Bridge)
Crimson rivers, blackened gold,
A story of power, a tale retold.
What’s the cost of a world on fire?
Dreams consumed by their empire.
(Outro)
But every empire fades in time,
No shadow rules the endless climb.
Blood for oil may feed their greed,
But the human soul is what they’ll need.
