[Verse] Climbed the mountain reached the top Bitter wind it never stops Fame and fortune glitter bright Soul’s still searching in the night [Verse 2] Dreams I chased with all my might Turned to shadows in the light Walls they whisper cold and low Riches meanin’ ain't in show [Chorus] Empty gold in hollow hands Lost my faith in shifting sands Heart is heavy eyes are tired Burned by all that I desired [Verse 3] Years of struggle pain and lies Now it's darkened painted skies All those promises so clear Fade to nothing disappear [Bridge] Thought I'd find some peace at last Haunted by my broken past Empty rooms and silent halls Echo through these paper walls [Chorus] Empty gold in hollow hands Lost my faith in shifting sands Heart is heavy eyes are tired Burned by all that I desired
