Gold Coins
In the Shadows of Morality: Figure Walking's Tale of Gold, Blood, and Conscience
Lyrics
Every one of us
Every individual among us
All of us, all of us
All of us, collectively
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
We all possess the capacity for both good and bad deeds
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Our emotions and nature are like the phases of the moon, having both light and darkness
Always a bright side and the darkness too
There is always positivity and negativity within us
These two men while not related lived like brothers shared one heart
Two unrelated individuals lived as close as brothers, sharing a deep bond
So much that their blood relations could scarcely tell these men apart
Their connection was so strong that even their biological family found it hard to differentiate between them
One spring morning while out riding they found a man along their path
During a spring morning ride, they encountered a merchant whose cart had overturned, spilling gold and injuring him
A wealthy merchant cart turned over scattered gold and broken back
There was scattered gold and the merchant was injured due to the accident
Every one of us
Each and every one of us
All of us, all of us
All people, collectively
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
We all possess the capability for good and bad actions
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Similar to the moon, our hearts encompass both light and darkness
Always a bright side and the darkness too
There's always a positive and a negative aspect within us
A fortune piled up for the taking
A significant amount of wealth was present, ripe for the taking
Each man wondered to himself of principle of consequence of a life with so much wealth
Each man pondered on the principles and consequences of possessing such immense wealth
The first stepped forward his eyes flashing
One of them moved forward eagerly, showing excitement in his eyes
He drew his sword and killed the man
He used his sword to kill the merchant
The other stood struck with horror at the actions of his friend
The other man was shocked and horrified by his friend's actions
Brother have you lost your senses?
One man questioned the sanity of the other
Murder for a bag of gold?
Expressing disbelief that murder was committed for a bag of gold
I’d sooner strike you down myself than live with this upon my soul
He would rather kill his friend than live with the guilt of such a heinous act on his conscience
The killer, overcome with passion, lashed out at his honest friend
The murderer, overwhelmed by emotions, attacked his honest friend
Who drew his sword in disbelief and killed him in his own defense
The friend defended himself by fatally striking the attacker
Every one of us
Every single one of us
All of us, all of us
All people, collectively
We are all capable of evil and righteousness
We all possess the capacity for both good and bad deeds
Our hearts are as the moon as the moon
Our emotions and nature are like the phases of the moon, having both light and darkness
Always a bright side and the darkness too
There is always positivity and negativity within us
