I'm living in a land of death
the trees are burning grey
there's a smoldering smoke overhead
and the night looks the same as the day
it seems a miracle that I can stand
but i feel alive with a life that's not mine
your law is a stream in this wasteland - my lifeline
so much more than precious gold
are your promises my lord
by them is your servant warned
in keeping them great reward
your direction is marked in light
so much more than precious gold
are your promises my lord
by them is your servant warned
in keeping them great reward
Interlude
The kingdoms of man have all decayed
the ruins of progress turn to waste
the gods of greed lay in their graves
darkness is everywhere
but there's a path in the dark that has emerged
and I focus my captivated gaze
on the radiant light from Jesus' face
the water of life is all i crave
only your word remains
So much more than precious gold
