lyrics

The Gold is king, and I will sing (La la la la la la la)

The tree, it stands so tall; overlooking
Dead from years of sunlight and the rainfall
My hope swells out, my heart knows a sure thing
That I might not be alone here at all

Creeping desire, it pulls me inward
But suddenly I’m not the only one
Looking hungry at me “Please” I implore
Let this not be how this short life is done

The Golden stares right through me like I’m glass
Sprinting back to the ship I think is right
With steps it moves with me swiftly alas
I see the end; I run, I freeze, I fight

And in quest to cure my planet’s hunger
I find myself in gold, and tree, under

Golden takes me in and I finally sleep, goodnight

Oak Trees on this planet I was sent to find - we are starving we need food
Living inside the oak was gold
The Oak is the Throne
The Gold is the King

But I cannot share the Gold or the Oak
For the Falling stars may fall too hard
The Empire’s reach will span to far
And that this will become song
