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
