Gold

Once there was a little boy who came across a tomb In the tomb were two eyes, the only things in the room One for feeling one for seeing, they saw into his soul In the end they said just go the world has gone to gold The child he left, walked away, found himself a queen Asked her for her answer to what this all could mean She said she didn't know, but she had herself a clue All the wretched things she's seen her husband do From murder with fervor to poisoning cups to get himself a crown His biggest mark left on this earth is the blood left on the ground He hasn't felt for if he had, so unsettled he would be He'd see the same greed and hate the Eyes of Life had seen There is hope, though little still, to saving people's souls If we all could feel the others' pain, we all would have no foe The love would spread, though miss the dead, it'd change the future still The Eyes of Life could then pronounce The Devil's had his fill But The Devil's got a quick trick For weeding out the greedy Puts gold on a platter Prices it for selling He says take it, leave your soul with me Take it, leave your soul with me Take it, leave your soul with me Take it, the choice is made you see It's not really a question It's more what's in your being The good that's in your heart That keeps your soul from leaving When he says take it, leave your soul with me Take it, leave your soul with me Take it, leave your soul with me Take it, the choice is made you see When the day is done, there's not much to it son You'd choose gold over what is free When the day is done, evil's surely won You'd choose gold over being free When the day is done, I'll be a lonely one Cause I chose love over toxic greed (Love over toxic) No I won't give in, I'll sing not be dismissed You will see that love's the key
