what's left but solid gold? - chris connelly lyrics
[verse 1]
i gave you precious metal
my precious metal friend
to cast a spell for famine
you kept it in your hand
i’m loathe to strike a bargain
to auction off my past
for purpose*built protection
where gold looked down and laughed
[chorus]
what stain on a bad name?
clawing the wings off a fly
sowing disease in a harvest
infants pretending to die
[verse 2]
the strong invented solace
to comfort us with rage
and bleed on constellations
strung neatly in my cage
what’s left but solace starving?
what’s left but solid gold?
the edge of light in hiding
the last of night controlled
[chorus]
pests bitе ‘til they’re frantic
spitting through peepholes at mе
salivate, sanguine intention
hacking through veins to be free
[bridge]
both hands to betrayal
mine became the first
alchemist to ice age
precious metal curse
precious
precious
precious
[verse 3]
so down they came in secret
stars on separate shores
their likeness cast in mantras
immortalized with ores
if alchemy is sacred
metallurgy is waste
it leaves behind a scar
on your precious metal face
[outro]
precious
precious
precious
