Rings of Gold
Love's Decay: Rings of Gold Turned to Rust
Lyrics
I remember when you said
I recall the moment when you made a commitment.
"With this ring I thee wed"
You pledged marriage with a ring.
Now you've gone betrayed my trust
Now you've broken my trust and loyalty.
Rings of gold have turned to rust
The symbolic rings of commitment have lost their value and significance, now tainted.
Tears can't wash away the sin
Tears cannot erase the wrongdoing or absolve the guilt.
Love that's dead can't live again
Love that has died cannot be revived.
Knowing there's no hope for us
Understanding that there is no chance of reconciliation.
Turns these rings of gold to rust
This realization transforms the once precious rings of commitment into worthless rust.
Love before was clean and pure
Love in the past was pure and untarnished.
Never more can I be sure
I can no longer have certainty or confidence in love.
You will not betray my trust
You will not remain faithful to the commitment.
Rings of gold have turned to rust
The symbolic rings have lost their value, now corrupted and corroded.
Plans we made just yesterday
Plans made recently are now distant and unrealized.
Sands of time have chipped away
The passing of time has worn away at our plans.
Now they've crumbled into dust
Now those plans have disintegrated into nothingness.
Rings of gold have turned to rust
The symbolic rings have lost their meaning, now reduced to worthless remnants.
Rings of gold have turned to rust
The once symbolic and valuable rings have become tarnished and useless.
