When Gold Turns to Rust - Nightrage

We have always followed

All these unwritten rules

A betrayal of our agonized existence

Always pigeonholed

Ignored and put aside

Abysmal endless torture

A blackened putrid tide

We became our own enemy

With no one else to trust

We’re at the twilight of our legacy

When gold turns to rust

In sacred violent bloodshed

We lost what we once loved

In the shadow of the grotesque

In the prayers of the dead

We became our own enemy

With no one else to trust

We’re at the twilight of our legacy

When gold turns to rust

We lost the grip on our destiny

All winnings turn to loss

We’ll be forgotten in eternity

When gold turns to rust

There’s no way to avoid it

The end has been foreseen

We are piloting our downfall

We’re crashing this machine

When gold turns to rust

Oh!

We became our own enemy

With no one else to trust

We’re at the twilight of our legacy

When gold turns to rust

We lost the grip on our destiny

All winnings turn to loss

We’ll be forgotten in eternity

When gold turns to rust

When gold turns to rust
