[Verse]
Chasing gold through the canyon dust
Fingers bleed but the heart's unjust
Broken clocks tick in a hollow chest
What’s the cost when you’ve lost the rest
[Chorus]
Gold in the ashes gold in the dirt
It shines but it don’t heal the hurt
The family’s gone the fire burned cold
You can’t buy love with all that gold
[Verse 2]
Heavy boots on a shattered trail
Echoes scream in the empty vale
Silver tongues speak a hollow creed
They plant the seed but it don’t feed
[Prechorus]
How many miles how many graves
How many lives must you enslave
[Chorus]
Gold in the ashes gold in the dirt
It shines but it don’t heal the hurt
The family’s gone the fire burned cold
You can’t buy love with all that gold
[Bridge]
Thunder cracks and the shadows laugh
The road ahead a twisted path
Coins in the river sinking slow
What you reap is what you sow
