Ash and Gold

[Verse] Climbing up the dusty road Dreams of gold and promises Sweat and tears the price we paid Chasing shadows ghostly bliss [Verse 2] Golden city on the hill Shimmered bright like heaven’s thrill Whispers sweet of glory tales Hearts and hope we laid for sale [Chorus] We sold our soul to chase the sun Promised land where good begun But now we see the truth is dark No way back we bear the mark [Verse 3] Streets of gold they turned to ash Falsehoods hidden in the flash Broken dreams we carry high Fallen stars light up the sky [Bridge] City bright but hollow deep Memories now make us weep Empty throne and blackened gate We were blind to meet our fate [Verse 4] Climbing down the path of woes Footprints faded lost in woes Eyes wide open scars we wear Left alone in night’s despair
