Lyrics
What once was
the trailhead
is paved over
in gold
The millwright
and woodshaper
look like they've
seen a ghost
You can pawn away humanity
to see how them dice'll roll
but can't buy it out of hock
once it's been resold
Foreign sight
forward line
first light of the day
turn a lock
turning clock
stash the lot away
Why would i trust it all to you?
I saved my life to pay your dues
What once was
the bread of life
is now reduced
to crumbs
With no holes
carved in our fife
and no skin
on our drums
You can lead a life of celibacy
you can barter off your passion
but you can't divy up mercy
and want back one lump sum
Warring hearts
warning shots
a worn in trust awaits
thirty large
and forty yard
in fifty year I saved
Why would i trust it all to you?
i saved my life to pay your dues
What was once
a treasure hunt
is now a treasury
pensioneer
profiteer
a life promissory
Why would I trust it all to you?
