Arena - Fool's Gold lyrics

Your rating:

  

 





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!
