Prospector Of Greed
Sweet Savage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity
If silence is your answer then leave here while you can
My world is filled with such as you
The ace is in my hand
Never had no problems in getting love and fun
The power of need's the power of greed
Don't live your life on my time
'Cause my time's all for me
Your wisdom fights, my wrongs, my rights
I'll never set you free
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed
Echo voices haunts me, still I seek my goal
To win where I am able to tear apart your soul
If by chance I lose it, the truth it will be known
The seeds of my fraternity
The seeds that I have sown
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed
Prospector of greed
Kindness is a favour, you won't get none from me
Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity
If silence is your answer then leave here while you can
My world is filled with such as you
The ace is in my hand
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner
Prospector of greed
Prospector of greed
I'm the prospector of greed
The lyrics to "Prospector Of Greed" by Sweet Savage paint a picture of an unrepentant and ruthless individual who seeks to accumulate wealth and power at any cost, even if it means causing harm to others. The singer addresses an unknown person who they view as weak and tries to distance themselves from any notion of kindness or compassion. The verse "Kindness is a favour, you won't get none from me / Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity" sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Heartless labours fulfil my every need / I'm the winner, lover of none / Prospector of greed" which emphasizes the singer's single-minded focus on achieving their goals without any regard for the well-being of others. The bridge section introduces a sense of unease or doubt in the singer's mind, as they acknowledge the possibility of failure ("If by chance I lose it, the truth it will be known") but ultimately reaffirms their faith in their own abilities.
Overall, "Prospector Of Greed" presents a bleak and uncompromising worldview that celebrates total selfishness and individualism over any sense of community or empathy.
Line by Line Meaning
Kindness is a favour, you won't get none from me
I won't be kind to you
Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity
I don't trust you and you make me angry
If silence is your answer then leave here while you can
If you're not going to talk to me, just leave
My world is filled with such as you
I'm surrounded by people like you
The ace is in my hand
I have the advantage
Never had no problems in getting love and fun
I've always been successful in finding love and fun
The power of need's the power of greed
Wanting something too much can be dangerous
Will cut through any one
I'll do whatever it takes to get what I want
Don't live your life on my time
I don't want to be responsible for your time
'Cause my time's all for me
I'm only concerned with my time
Your wisdom fights, my wrongs, my rights
I don't care about your opinion
I'll never set you free
I won't let you go
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I only care about myself
I'm the winner, lover of none
I'm only concerned with winning
Prospector of greed
I'm always searching for more
Echo voices haunts me, still I seek my goal
I'll do whatever it takes to reach my goals
To win where I am able to tear apart your soul
I want to hurt you
If by chance I lose it, the truth it will be known
If I fail, it will be obvious
The seeds of my fraternity
My actions are influenced by my peers
The seeds that I have sown
I am responsible for my own actions
I'm the prospector of greed
I'm always searching for more and willing to do anything to get it
Prospector of greed
I'm always searching for more
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I only care about myself
I'm the winner
I'm only concerned with winning
