Fool's Gold Lyrics

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
