Shackles of Gold
I have roamed all seven seas
And seen most people on their knees
Spending their lives on what's told
And now what's told is backed by gold
If you don't care what others say
If you are sick of chasing praise
If you desire a whole new world
My friend, behold
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
A fly stuck in a spider's net
A racing rat drowning in sweat
Your final hour's coming near
But still the prison seems so dear
Your final words full of regret
But wait, we are not there yet
You still have time to change it now
I'll show you how
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
And seen most people on their knees
Spending their lives on what's told
And now what's told is backed by gold
If you don't care what others say
If you are sick of chasing praise
If you desire a whole new world
My friend, behold
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
A fly stuck in a spider's net
A racing rat drowning in sweat
Your final hour's coming near
But still the prison seems so dear
Your final words full of regret
But wait, we are not there yet
You still have time to change it now
I'll show you how
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
There's nothing more than the value of life
Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife
Cut the majority's strangling hold
And cast away your shackles of gold
Once you are free from all that's not yours
You will start seeing opening doors
Waiting for you behind every door
A life you've never imagined before
