House Of Plenty Lyrics

House Of Plenty lyrics

This dirty mansion old and grey 
Have once upon a time seen better days  
The windows now abide in gloom  
There`s no one living in these rooms  
The masters left it long ago  
Abandoned shadows dwell within its walls  
 
This house have had its palmy days in joy  
Once the girls would dance and sing  
The boys played by the pool  
It was a house of plenty  
A pleasure to the eye  
The golden age went by  
 
Now gloomy shadows wanders through these rooms  
Deserted to the dancing dust and echoes of the past  
From a house of plenty  
Then something flickered by  
The corner of my eye  
 
I do not know his history  
Or who this shape once was  
His eyes looks sad drained on faith  
He hovers just an inch or two  
Above the dusty floor  
A face so pale, with a hollow soul  
 
He`s reaching out his hand  
Displays a golden coin  
It`s not important anymore  
 
The old man told a tale of long ago  
An age of wealth and prosperity  
An age that soon would die  
At the house of plenty  
A pleasure to the eye  
That golden age went by  
 
This mansion old and grey  
Have once upon a time  
Seen better days  
The Masters left it long ago  
Abandoned shadows dwell within its walls  
 
No matter what all wealth can bring  
In the end it do not mean a thing  
If visions fade and hope decays  
If future plans ideals betray  
You`d better you`d better watch out  
For every house of plenty...
