React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
Lives in her bubble as she likes, a cut-rate gilded cage
Blinded 'cause it glitters, says the earth makes you dirty
Clings more to her mask than to her life
The same from New York to Paris
Feels nothing, analyzes, cultivates greed
While the world races to its ruin
Madam Marchioness merely thinks about it
Way too focused on herself
Too busy showing off her life
And wondering what people would think of her
Madam Marchioness, life is rosy
As long as her mirror says she's beautiful
So she couldn't care less about others, the times
The world can die around her
The castle's burning, I know it's crazy
For once, please, wake up
Flames have already attacked the crowds
Look around you, Madam Marchioness
The castle's burning, the air is full of sulfur
Are there any emergency exits left
React before everything collapses
Time is running out, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning
Madam Marchioness, grand concepts galvanize
But they never cross the line
She thinks she's enlightened 'cause she thinks life is the Matrix
Heart that judges, killing words
Asking her for help feels like attacking her
She'd like to appear wiser
But her urge to dominate betrays her
Madam Marchioness couldn't care less
Focused on her evening dinner
Between her finest jewels and her pretty silk gowns
She has to shine, shine, shine like a thousand flames
So only she's seen, that goes without saying
Unaware or lively, vile and vicious
Wants to give nothing but receive everything
The castle's burning, I know it's crazy
For once, please, wake up
Flames have already attacked the crowds
Look around you, Madam Marchioness
The castle's burning, the air is full of sulfur
Are there any emergency exits left
React before everything collapses
Time is running out, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning
Madam Marchioness, the virtual world is her paradise
Let's be pragmatic, it won't fix anything once Earth has no shelter
Glass bubble and strange indifference
Clinging to her blinkers and her schemes
War in a corner of the screen
Unless it becomes attractive
Madam Marchioness looks down on all that
She's lost her wool sweater
She endorses war as long as it's far away
Can't imagine it bursting her glass bubble
Madam Marchioness is always right
And she'll have the means to shut you up
And if everybody defends her
It's just because she is modern society
The castle's burning, I know it's crazy
For once, please, wake up
Flames have already attacked the crowds
Look around you, Madam Marchioness
The castle's burning, the air is full of sulfur
Are there still any emergency exits left
React before everything collapses
Time is running out, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
React, the castle's burning, Madam Marchioness
