I was trying hard to win

Save the world and be the king

I was out there in the race

Trying hard to force the pace

Fool's gold fooled me too

Bright and shiny looked brand new

Fool's gold broke my heart

Shone so brightly then fell apart



I was locked in bitter strife

Fighting monsters all of my life

I was out to break the pledge

Force myself across the edge

Fools gold bitter sting

Broken promise hollow ring

Fool's gold cast the die

Broken promise empty lie
