Sitting On Gold

That old pendulum swings now/
It has always stood so still/
It waited in silence/
Almost poised to kill.
Beautiful in gold/
A beautiful dart/
An unwed band/
A work of art.
Stand in the quiet/
Life is on pause/
Sing to yourself/
Sing for a cause.
Kiss me in water/
Kiss the dry air/
Know when we get there/
We'll still be nowhere.
Lost in hot sand/
Just like when the princess had went blind/
You'll search the high seas/
For something you'll never find.
Raped by the prince/
Raped from what is safe/
Raped for sleeping still/
Cursed by love and fate.
Oh, the breath has been taken/
By vanity and pride/
Tighten the white corset/
Around the unknowing bride.
The truth is never told/
When you can't let it fail/
It brings out the evil/
In the ones that we hail.
So you threw it away/
For something you hate/
Now your heart bleeds black/
And it's far too late.
You used to be a king/
Sitting on gold/
Now you have fallen hard/
With the demons you hold.
