You found us near death and returned us to the light Your words and your shelter turned us friends by the night Then came the day that began as trade Promises of riches and fortune we made We've sealed the deals without a second thought Sold our souls for the greed that's been bought We, we crossed through the canyon Through the dust filtered light, we crossed Water crashing became deafening and visions of gold filled our sight We worked together, we shared the haul We agreed not to pass the waterfall But when we found the treasures that it hid our hearts proved weak Like the words we bid Our hearts proved weak like the words we bid We worked together, to share the haul We agreed not to pass the waterfall But when we found the treasures that it hid our hearts proved weak Like the words we bid We crossed through the canyon and visions of gold filled our sight Day after day, lining our pockets to the top, taking without thinking like an infinite crop That's when we finally returned to the camp Minds full of money and lives fulfilled Yet we were greeted with the horror to find that our men had been killed My narrow escape is a constant reminder of the treasures that I knew Someday you will find her I wasted my life trying to return Dying in the endless pursuit of prosperity Dying in the endless pursuit of prosperity
