Precious Gold
Precious gold slips though our fingers
Precious gold slips though our hands
We are lost upon a journey
No one here quite understands
Precious gold slips through our fingers
Precious gold slips through our hands
Through the years of wasted hours
And the lonely one night stands

For precious gold, precious gold
Precious gold, precious gold
Your beauty blinds the soul

Now I can hardly keep from weeping
I can hardly keep from cying
When I see the hungry people
Always killing always dying
No I can hardly keep from weeping
I can hardly keep from cying
Now the skies grow dark and dirty
And the sun refuse to shine

For precious gold, precious gold
Precious gold, precious gold
Your beauty blinds the soul

Now we’re on this dying planet
That will soon refuse to spin
But we still go into battle
Though there’s nothing left to win
We can’t recognize our brothers
We can’t see beyond the skin
Though the locks and chains have rusted
And the walls are caving in

For precious gold, precious gold
Precious gold, precious gold
Your beauty blinds the soul.
