Fool's Gold

歌詞

You think you can hide from the life that you made You think you can run from the hell you created Never a thought for the fruits of your labour Just some vague and fading picture You think I would laugh in the face of neglect You think I would smile in the light of rejection Never a thought to the flesh and the blood Just some weak and willing victim "All that glisters is not gold", or so the wise man said "When greed awakes upon your shoulder Hearts will turn to lead" Fools gold! Ah, fools gold! Fly to the valleys, fly to the hills Try to exist on your own without feelings Ripping your soul beyond all recognition Unforgiven, twisted vision Let your conscience decide! Can you live with yourself and the deed you have done Conquer your thoughts when all this has begun It's tearing your mind into guilt and regret Troubled dreams - You'll not forget this! "All that glisters is not gold", or so the wise man said "When greed awakes upon your shoulder Hearts will turn to lead" Fools gold! Fools gold! No........It's not all right to call No........It's not all right to haul me over hot coals Burning the soles of my feet Biting deep - Deep into my flesh - My hands Vengeance - Be sure that I will repay you Vengeance - Be sure that I will be the one to betray you! Vengeance - I'll strike like a snake when your back is turned Vengeance - I shall light the fire and leave you to burn Digging deep for something of value How much more must I tear at the soil? Then at my feet I find angels and saints Pleading for forgiveness Digging deep for something of value Will I find what I touched in a dream? Then at my feet I find demons and devils Waiting to drag me down into the pit! Digging deep for something of value Searching hard for answers and clues Then at my feet I find bigots and sinners Screaming their abuse at me Digging deep for something of value Will I find what I lost once before From my soul there springs home for redemption A chance to walk the farthest shore I made my own bed - I must lie here forever I made my own prison - I must live out my life in it now Are you really afraid when the sun sets at night Are you really afraid when you lie down and close your eyes Never a chance to retreat into sleep The damage is done - now you shall reap justice You wanted it all but now you have nothing Lost to the wind are the chances you threw You wanted it all but now you have nothing You killed for the gold but this won't help you "All that glisters is not gold", or so the wise man said "When greed awakes upon your shoulder Hearts will turn to lead" That's fools gold! Fools gold!
