Scream of the Silver

Verse 1

Chrome

Cold teeth

Biting on the marrow of the weak

Hunger hides behind a heavy mask

Stoking fire

Gold in the wire

Selling out the soul for what you want

Towers rise

But the foundation is a lie

Piles of paper and a hollow chest

Chorus

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Shut your ears to the scream of the silver

Pull the anchor

Cut the cable

Keep your heart on the iron track

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Verse 2

Wolves

Lean hounds

Chasing every penny to the grave

Vultures circle overhead

They want it all

Watch them fall

Trading every brother for a crown

Blood is cheap

When the mountain is so steep

Heads are heavy with the weight of theft

Chorus

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Shut your ears to the scream of the silver

Pull the anchor

Cut the cable

Keep your heart on the iron track

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Bridge

They will promise you the sun

They will promise you the moon

They will promise you the stars

But they take your name

And they take your pride

And they take your life

Leave it all behind

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Shut your ears to the scream of the silver

Pull the anchor

Cut the cable

Keep your heart on the iron track

Don't let the gold sing

Don't let the gold sing

Post-Chorus

No greed

No greed

Stay clean

Stay clean

Hammer down the greed

Hammer down the greed

Outro

I am not for sale

My spirit is a fortress

The sirens fail tonight

They fail

They fail

They fail
