You are deep gold and in you lay

stories untold.

Maps to ancient kingdoms and

treasures of old

You are an unconquered country,

And no flag dare call you his.

You are deep gold and in you lay

stories untold.

You are searched for by the heavens

and hunted by the abyss.

You are spoken of by eastern winds

that whisper their impossible wish.

They carry your scent to sailors; that

search for you in mines, and ores

For you are deep gold and in you lie

stories untold.

Refined by the fire of life, you have

been held by fire in its palm

And those that seek to hold you,

seek for their hearts a balm

But some would seek to unearth

you and trap you in a tomb of sorts

For they fear this deep gold in

which lie stories untold.

Now they have dug and they

have toiled and searched, even

the innermost parts,

They have ravaged, and have

spied all places but their hearts.

For if they searched and delved

within there is something

that they would know

But some will never believe they

were deep gold, and so die with

their stories untold.
