Lyrics When Gold Turns to Rust - Nightrage

When Gold Turns to Rust

We have always followed
All these unwritten rules
A betrayal of our agonized existence
Always pigeonholed
Ignored and put aside
Abysmal endless torture
A blackened putrid tide
We became our own enemy
With no one else to trust
We’re at the twilight of our legacy
When gold turns to rust
In sacred violent bloodshed
We lost what we once loved
In the shadow of the grotesque
In the prayers of the dead
We became our own enemy
With no one else to trust
We’re at the twilight of our legacy
When gold turns to rust
We lost the grip on our destiny
All winnings turn to loss
We’ll be forgotten in eternity
When gold turns to rust
There’s no way to avoid it
The end has been foreseen
We are piloting our downfall
We’re crashing this machine
When gold turns to rust
Oh!
We became our own enemy
With no one else to trust
We’re at the twilight of our legacy
When gold turns to rust
We lost the grip on our destiny
All winnings turn to loss
We’ll be forgotten in eternity
When gold turns to rust
When gold turns to rust
