Die For Gold (upon The Boiling Sea Iv) Lyrics - Long Live Heavy Metal - 3 Inches Of Blood

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 [x3] 

You only wish that you could die 

Die for gold [x3] 

[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 [x3] 

You only wish that you could die
