City Of Gold

(album: Maximum Overload - 2014)

Her dream was to shine on the screen
Thought that was why she was born
Left all behind without a fear inside
But sometimes there's no lucky star to help you

Sun will go down, and she's all alone
Can't help but feel insecure
She'll never stop, the way to the top
Is more than she had bargained for

Her quest for the glory was real
But somehow it turned out all wrong
Heartache was never a part of the dream
Can't find a reason to keep on trying

Turn out the light, 'cause deep in the night
She's like the thousands before
Hold out your hand, there's hope at the end
But be careful what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

Another night out on the streets
Finding a way to survive
Wasting your chances, destroying your dreams
Counting the tears that you cry

Hiding the pain, it drives you insane
But still you're craving for more
So give me your hand, hold on 'til the end
And you can have what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night 'cause not all that glitters is gold

Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight and you'll find your Kingdom of Gold
