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!
