In the beginning…
mankind sought gold, a precious metal capable of destroying civilizations and creating new one’s from their ashes …
he works tirelessly in his search for gold
the miner willingly take risks and is bold
as his fever for the yellow metal soldifies
he never keeps his eyes off of the prize
but
gold fever turns good men into bad guys
willing to kill and tell numerous lies
it’s glitter
sets hearts a twitter
it’s weights
seals fates
kingdoms fall
big and small
but
men will always lust
for that glittering gold dust
or dream of that mother lode
putting them on a yellow brick road
with luxuries that’ll pave their way
to a better life until their last day
