Gold of the Underworld

Standing in cold

I'm waiting for the dusk

The secret door

will be revealed

Years of studies

have bore fruits

Ancient tales

have guided my steps

I found the way

towards the underworld

And its treasures

hoarded for centuries

From dusk till dawn

the guardians are asleep

One night per year

this night has come

As the last rays of sun disappear

I hold my breath

I stare at the rock before me

waiting with fear

A gap appears in the rock

splitting it in two

The hole is widening

the door is opening

In the heart of the earth

where the daylight never comes

The people of the underworld

keeps its treasure

But tonight there's no move

the eyes are closed

Thousand of heavy breathes

put rhythm into the night

I pluck my courage

to penetrate the way

And follow the stairs

engraved in rock

Some little torches

enlighten my steps

The low ceiling

force me to bent down

Now I'm running

in the half-light

Cause I know

the time is short

From dusk till dawn

the guardians are asleep

One night per year

it's now or never

The stairs come to an end

I walk into a dark maze

What I see square exactly

with what I read

Dark rooms and narrow alleys

are following each others

Worrying figures people

the corners of the rooms

In the heart of the earth

Where the daylight never comes

The people of the underworld

keeps its treasure

Time is passing

the eyes keep closed

Thousand of heavy breathes

are filling the night

I can't believe my eyes

I've reached my aim

I know this door is the last

Behind it, wait the treasure

Now nothing can stop myself

I put my hand on the latch

The door opens itself in a creaking

Now nothing can stop myself

I put my hand on the latch

The door opens itself

in a creaking

Jewels and gold all around

Crowns and rings, necklaces and tiaras

What happened to their owners?

I don't care cause now all is mine.

I walk into a sea of gold

I gather the biggest jewels

I'll never can, let one of them

Creatures of the underworld are no more still

The eyes are moving under the eyelids

The night comes to its end

The dawn is near

I can't make any choice

There's too more wealth

I play with gold

But time is flying

I know I should leave the place /

but the gold hypnotizes me

How can I abandon

the dream of a life

Now resounds the cockcrow

I must flee immediately

But I can't let the gold

I try to take as much as possible

But it's never enough

I fill frantically my sacks and my pockets

And slip on necklaces and bracelets

Finally loaded like a packhorse

I run towards the door

As soon as I leave the treasure's room

I see I'm no more alone

Creatures look at me with a dark smile

The hunt can begin

Driven by the lure of money

I sealed my own fate

I know my end is near

I hear their laughing

I'm running towards the dark alleys

Creatures are everywhere, behind each corner

I let my sacks far away

And I flee anywhere I can

Driven by the lure of money

I sealed my own fate

I know my end is near

I hear their laughing

I begin to ask myself

If they don't drive me where they want

I enter in a little room without any exit

Blood and bones on the ground
