Fool's Gold

Swing your pick
And keep your pride
Inside the Mountain's heart
It's dark and deep
So watch your step
Down the Diggers' Shaft

Search on deep
For gold or coal
Inside the Mountain's heart
You'll not have peace
From finished goals
For that, you're much too smart

Miss the sun
The warmth and light
Blocked out by Mountain's skin
You chose this life
This is your plight
The monsters and the sin

It's Fools' Gold
In folly, craved
Dug out of Mountain's skin
Attractive, yes
Its worth wont save
This day there's been no win

You crawl back
With suspect hoard
Now free from Mountain's grip
Changed fortune's track
From pleb to lord
This is but iceberg's tip

You stand shocked
The wool is gone
Torn off in Mountain's grip
'It's but Fools' Gold'
They say, forlorn
From you, your dreams, they strip

Bite your lip
And turn your head
To face the Mountain's gaze
You now accept
Your daily bread
A life in Mountain's maze.
