Chase Noseworthy - Weight in Gold
00
Copied!
When I die, gild my bones
Wrap me in a silken shroud
Bury me
With all the gold in the treasuries of men
Do you recall the way they'd sneer?
The way they’d mock our better blood?
Brother, I can still remember all the words our father said
And didn't say
If I were worth my weight in gold
Perhaps someone would see me
If I lived in a castle
Would the world then care to meet me?
Fill my coffers high with lies
And let a girl pretend
That shе's more than her elеgance belies
Wealth of riches, wealth of name
I have it all, and yet I’m still the same
But wealth of family, wealth of lover, wealth of brother
Keeps me warm
Queen of Ravens lays me down
Her mask as fragile as my own
Open eyed; see my brother who has never left my side
A sacrifice
I would give up all my gold
For one more day to tease you
I would burn my castle down
For one more chance to see you
Fill my heart as you once did
When it was us agains the world
Wrap me in a silken shroud
Bury me
With all the gold in the treasuries of men
Do you recall the way they'd sneer?
The way they’d mock our better blood?
