You’re taking a trip Leaving your children and wife Guided by a dream A Dream of a better life You’ve heard a word About valleys full of gold So you’re on the road With a heart so bold
You go to the right Then you turn to the left Whole day and whole night From the South to the West The gold tempts your soul But all you see is Empty Ground
Denying hunger, denying thirst In your attempts to prey the golden ghost Entirely obsessed you sieve a soil through your hands You’re doing your best to strike it rich in these lands
You go to the right Then you turn to the left Through darkness and light From the South to the West The gold plays a game And all you see is Empty Ground
Empty Ground
You’re pressing your luck so desperate A will to give up, but it’s never to late There’s no miracles left, no chance of easy wealth Scraping land for the gold you’re just burying yourself
You go to the right Then you turn to the left Through darkness and light From the South to the West The gold makes you blind So you can see just Empty Ground Empty Groung is everywhere
You go to the right Then you turn to the left Whole day and whole night From the South to the West The gold tempts your soul…
