Gold

He has a heart of gold;
Yet they say "nothing gold can stay".
So with all my heart I will pray;
And with all my might I will defend.
Defend him from the lights.
The lights.
click flash, click flash, click flash
The lights bring him down.
Slowly, one by one.
click flash, click flash, click flash
Yet he can't see me through the lights.
click flash, click flash, click flash
And soon he will fall.
Because in the end, they were right;
Nothing gold can stay.
