Silver and Gold

lyrics

Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die

You see, I've been waiting for you
Spent so many months by phone waiting, praying for you
In the jail that you made me, the cell that you paved with
Silver and gold
'Cause the moment when the dark descended
Had to bleed from my soul to keep the flame protected
Your methods were violent
But don't you know the voice of a lion cannot be kept silent

Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die

No, I never thought that you'd be the one to take my heart and throw it to the dogs
Who gave you permission to give and to take like the hands of God?
We are a movement
You will not triumph
Don't you know, my brothers and sisters will rise
We'll stand in defiance

Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die

Work for the silver, work for the gold
Prey for the jailer, dream for a soul
We the delivered, rise from the coal
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul

Work for the silver, work for the gold
Prey for the jailer, dream for a soul
We the delivered, rise from the coal
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul
Pray for the jailer, pray for his soul

Can't shake the feeling I'll soon find out
The price I paid wasn't enough in the final hour
But if it's to be all over in the blink of an eye
I'd rather die
