well everybody i know   has one good chance to die   to be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky   feel the heavens stare   with a cold hard look in it's eyes   to hear the sound of something awful on the rise   so pray for safe passage through the night   you'll be humbled by sounds of daylight   and this is an endless search   to find how much is enough   this could be so much worse   but we sold our souls for gold   you know that nobody in this room   wants to hear you cry   and if nobody goes for help   baby you're gonna die   it came and went so fast   you'd almost thought you'd missed   a chance to shake your head and say   how did it come to this   pray for safe passage through the night   you'll be humbled by the sounds of daylight   and this is an endless search   to find how much is enough   this could be so much worse   but we sold our souls for gold   we sold our souls   we sold our souls
