Die For Gold (Upon The Boiling Sea IV)

Surrounded by the spoils that piracy has earned

Protect your treasure horde

from those you think would steal

Alone for many years long ago your fat was sealed

Paranoia permeates, imprisoned by your selfish hate

You think you're seeing thieves

Hallucinations drive you mad

Only fighting with yourself,

Because there's no one there

You life's been paved with greed only cared

for gaining wealth

Spite the gods too many times

at the cost of ship and crew

Now an island's your abode,

with the riches of a king

None of it can you ever spend,

will you repent your wicked ways

Never freedom from this curse

To spend eternity like this

Impossible to break these chains

You only wish that you could die

Die for gold (3x)

You only wish that you could die

Die for gold (3x)

(Solo: Clark)

Your dreams not realized,

tormented for your deeds

A punishment that fits the sin

Never sail the seas again

Make your bed on a pile of gems,

an empire of lonely rule

Despair turns to insanity

Your skin turns a precious gleam

The sea god's made his point

He cares not for your remorse

You withheld Poseidon's share

Immortal sentence, You can't die

Die for gold (x3

You only wish that you could die

Die for gold (3x)

You only wish that you could die
