The world inside (ii)

Reach out your hand grab the penny
A surface war yields shallow rewards
Clench your fist make your demands
But you are conquering the wrong enemy

Alone you lie naked and bare
Conscience a mirror
You steal from your soul to feed your ego
Outside you're a hero

But alone you lie
In the world inside
Alone you lie
In the world inside

God of material villain of spirit
The fortress you build you must live in
Betrayal of trust faith and allegiance
You fool everyone but yourself
