Oh, God, the dirt is filling my
Old eyes;
And goddamn Devil takes my life
Tonight.
I regret all that I've done,
I hate the man I have become -
A fat, rich scum.
Oh!
The stupid mistakes of my life.
Oh!
The sad aftertaste of my lies.
I've never felt the pain like this before.
I didn't mean to wreck somebody's home;
I didn't wish to have my own slaves.
My money made me do this; and now I have to pray.
Please, Lord, forgive me!
I've been so greedy!
I've been a nasty man
Without any sense of guilt.
I've never trusted
Those people, bastards,
I've been in a golden cage,
The cage that I have built!
I used to kill for every silver dime I saw;
I used to see the purest love in every whore;
I used to be the richest man in this damned world;
And now my soul is locked inside a piece of gold,
That I have sold.
I am so empty.
I am so hollow.
Now I have plenty
Of tears to swallow.
