Well everybody I know has one good chance to die
To be swallowed whole by the big blue empty sky
The feel of heavens stare with a cold hard look in it's eyes
To hear the sound of something awful on the rise

So pray for safe passage through the night
You'll be humbled
By sounds of daylight

And this is an endless search
To find how much is enough
And this could be so much worse
But we sold our souls for gold

And this is an endless search
To find how much is enough
And this could be so much worse
But we sold our souls for gold

You know that nobody in this room wants to hear you cry
And if nobody goes for him, baby, you're gonna die
It came and went so fast you'd almost thought you missed
A chance to shake your head and say, "How did it come to this?"

Pray for safe passage through the night
You'll be humbled
By sounds of daylight
And this is an endless search
To find how much is enough
And this could be so much worse
But we sold our souls for gold

And this is an endless search
To find how much is enough
Oh, baby, this could be so much worse
But we sold our souls for gold

We sold our souls!
We sold our souls our gold

We sold our souls!
We sold our souls our gold

And this is an endless search
To find how much is enough
And this could be so much worse
But we sold our souls for gold
