[Verse] Fields of gold and silken sheets Stacks of silver at my feet A world I built brick by brick All has turned to dust real quick [Verse 2] Came an angel in the night Eyes like stars shone cold and bright With a voice that cut the air Bringing news I couldn’t bear [Chorus] Oh rich man can’t you see Your time’s up for eternity All your treasures piled so high Can’t go with you when you die [Verse 3] Worked my hands to bone for years Dollar signs replaced my tears A life of toil never spent A future that just up and went [Verse 4] My wealth like shadows now fades fast No legacy no love to last That angel’s wings a solemn sight Guiding me to endless night [Bridge] What’s the worth of gold untamed If by death you’ll be reclaimed Heavy pockets light as air Empty heart left in despair
