The Power Of Gold

The story is told of the

Power of gold

And its lure on the unsuspecting

It glitters and shines

It badgers and blinds

And constantly needs protecting.



Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold

Are you under

The power of gold?



The letters and calls

Got you climbing the walls

And everyone wants a favor

They beg to remind you

Of times left behind you

But you know the past is a loser.



The face you're wearing is different now

And the days run hot and cold

Are you under

The power of gold?



You're a creature of habit

Run like a rabbit

Scared of a fear you can't name

Your own paranoia

Is looming before you

But nobody thinks that

It's a game.



Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold

Then tell me

That you're free

Of the power of gold.



The women are lovely

The wine is superb

But there's something about the song

That disturbs you...
