Promise of Gold - Angelspit

I don’t respect how this city works

But I’ve learned how to milk it for all its worth

Opinion doesn’t matter, nor does life

But I got a plan, and in the dead of night

I’m gunna climb to the top and find my freedom

Break in through the spire and find my freedom

Crack open the vault and find my freedom

Steal the lot and find my freedom

Here, at the top of the world

What’s the point anyway?

For the promise of gold

I fear I forgot how to fake being human

Maybe I’m too old, irrelevant, or dying

Still these great walls will replace me soon

Throw me out with the trash — won’t even be recycled

Just a step to the left, no-one's watching

Gravity does the rest, no-one's watching

Then I’ll be free, no-one's watching

Half a mile release, no one’s watching

Here, at the top of the world

What’s the point anyway?

For the promise of gold

Here, at the top of the world

Why did I climb so high?

For the promise of gold

MIDDLE 8/

Teach the kids to pucker up and maybe they’ll survive

Freedom comes from kissing concrete from half a mile high

We can’t climb any higher

In the blink of an eye from the tallest spire

Floating through ash clouds, falling though haze

Absorbed into the static, drift away

Here, at the top of the world

What’s the point anyway?

For the promise of gold

Here, at the top of the world

Why did I climb so high?

For the promise of gold
