Golden towers reaching for the sky
He promised power, said he'd never lie
In the glare
of the flashing screen
The loudest voice this land has ever seen (oh-oh-oh)
And the crowds began to sway
With every single word he'd say
In the court of public eyes
Underneath the heavy crimson skies
He played the game,
he made his stand
A giant shadow on the land (yeah-eah)
A red cap waving in the southern heat
A storm of voices marching down the street
They love the fire,
they love the show
But where the story ends,
nobody knows
Split the middle down the line
They're keeping score and taking time
(who is right?) (who is wrong?)
In the court of public eyes
Underneath the heavy crimson skies
He played the game,
he made his stand
A giant shadow on the land
Golden towers fading fast... (ahhhh)
