From ancient times to the present day
|
There have been those who have claimed her as a lover.
|
So driven by the will to move up
|
Have pursued her to the very ends of the earth
|
|
She enters into it enters into us,
|
As the wheel spins and turns
|
The fortunate ones are seen to emerge.
|
She enters into it enters into us.
|
|
Fortune smiles upon our heads.
|
Mistakenly we cling to her warm embrace.
|
How easily we seem to forgive and forget,
|
Lost within the security of our new found wealth.
|
|
There are those of you amongst us
|
Bearing vacant faces and empty smiles.
|
Their fates have already been decided upon.
|
They will leave behind them only victims of their misplaced trust.
|
|
Fortune smiles upon our heads.
|
Mistakenly we cling to her warm embrace.
|
How easily we seem to forgive and forget,
|
When lost within the security of our new found wealth.
