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...
