lyrics

Hey. You.
The coins that I put on your eyes
Could grant me my own paradise
But keep them my friend To me they are worthless
For no gold in the world Could buy me the things I need.
Name me no price!
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.
Hey. You.
Unfortunate soul you cannot afford me!
Will the coins that I put on your eyes be enough of a bribe To convince old Charon to carry you twice?
Could you try to persuade him, I’m desperately waiting.
I need you to come back home!

Hey, You! All that glitters isn’t gold it’s true
And you my friend can’t make me believe
The gift’s worth more than the giver.

Hey, You! Trapped inside a vault, I do not Care how much you left me don’t leave me here.
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.

The coins that I put on your eyes
They promised me nothing but lies.
A glimmering ruse, some meager distraction
That leads me astray from the path that I have to take.
And the trumpets may usher the end of the days
Still the coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.

Refrain

Give me a sign, anything. Take these goddamn coins off your eyes and look at me. I know you can’t, you’re gone, you’re dead but please try. Oh just to see you smile I would give up everything. I don’t need gold, need no silver, I need you. I need to hear your voice again, calling my name, giving me comfort. Oh, nothing could ever buy those things. Nothing is of value anymore. That’s a glimpse of the truth, a bit of the real world there. We all fall to ashes one day. And all that remains, all they will find of us will be coins. Just coins. The coins they put on our eyes!

Refrain

Hey, You! You know I really care for you. I really do!
Hey, You. All that glitters isn’t gold how true
So name me no price
The coins on your eyes are no key to a better life.
