Pages of Stone

We begin tonight
 With one of the biggest
 Wall Street insider trading cases ever
 The subject of an FBI investigation
 Mr. Osborne, Fox, and his media organizations
 Have recently been under investigation
 For a number of corporate misdemeanors
 This is about a man who has
 Over the decades, perhaps
 Promoted wars
 That have killed hundreds of thousands
 Starting millions of people
 It's a corporate cycle
 The overarching(?) by far
 Is probably the biggest
 Insider trading prosecution ever
 There will be other people
 In other organizations
 Come along
 And take his place quite quickly
 It's not fact (?)
 Faces a maximum of 105 years of prison
 And millions in fines
 The staff have been indicted
 And his former count
 Pleaded guilty
 And are cooperating with prosecutors
 About a lot of lawsuits
 Employees of (?)
 Have had to endure
 Weeks of speculation
 Daily headlines charting the fall
 Of a once-powerful business empire
 Where I took all
 A lot of very important people
 Will be coming down with me—
 It's off the chain
 The beast is deranged
 Broken out
 No longer contained
 I can't explain
 The fear is ingrained
 Fall from fame
 Pieces to be claimed
 This resignation
 Paranoid fixation
 Fractured and shameless
 The ruins I created
 This invitation
 Frozen numb sensation
 Fractured and shameless
 Blamed on my temptation
 Accept this fate
 Endless parade
 Kings I made
 Thrones they will reclaim
 My worst mistake
 Weakness has tainted
 The wire, a noose
 No longer evades
 This resignation
 Paranoid fixation
 Fractured and shameless
 The ruins I created
 This invitation
 Frozen numb sensation
 Fractured and shameless
 Blamed on my temptation
 You want me to entertain you
 With fear and devastation
 Blinded by the anger
 You still asked for more
 The bribes, the fraud
 The notion
 Of corporate extortion
 The wolf is at the window
 The pig is at the door
 The world within stopped turning
 This nightmare's still recurring
 Take a look inside of this dark, rotten core
 I can still stake my claim
 Focus on all your pain
 Keeping you awake at night if you explore
 Betrayed my ways
 No light inside
 Jealousy and greed
 Made a travesty of me
 Young, alone
 A stranger's bed, mislead
 No power, no dignity,
 I've dragged it all back to me
 This empire of my creation
 Devours my imperfections
 Bonds have been broken
 Won't take me alive
 Moments of shallow glory
 Finally come to haunt me
 Scandalized and destitute
 With nowhere to hide
 Avoid it
 This fear machine, eternal fortress
 Ignore it
 Breaks you down, the pain is endless
 Escape it
 Those who prey, remaining faceless
 Destroy it
 Submit to fate, I'm cheap and helpless
 Fold beneath the weight of it all
 Blood runs cold and the fear takes control
 It's here in these walls
 As this cage becomes my home
 Turn, turn the pages of stone
 The story untold like the dusk turns to dawn
 Eyes beneath the blindfold
 As this cage becomes my home
 Stripped from the towers above
 A fallen icon
 Taken down from my throne
 The seasons change
 I am left alone
