Gold Fever


Dedicated To: Frances Herrera Magallanes

Beyond the sweltering palms, among the desert sands
Lies a caravan, passing by a lifeless useless mound

Many years ago, their once existed a city, in this God forsaken land
How many mortals have passed the gates, of this wasted barren zone?

It was gold that caused this patch of emptiness, to suddenly become a town
How those fools did multiply, when gold was at its peak

And when the yellow nuggets, slowly began to fade
The folks that filled the town so fast, began a hasty retreat

Now just ghostly whispers, is all that's left behind
If you listen very closely, you'll hear the whimper sounds

Of all the souls, that came to town, to dig that precious gold
