Dead Man's Gold Lyrics

On the day that we set sail

The sun rose on a shiny sea

Spray fell in a misty veil

And we were free



We heard tales in the tavern

We heard the legends told

Of one man's buried treasure

The story of a dead man's gold



For three months we had sailed

On rough and stormy seas

Heading for an inland cove

To find our destiny



On the voyage we all remembered

All the stories we'd been told

Of one man's buried treasure

The stories of a dead man's gold



When we saw the headland rising

Blue skies and pure white sands

With our hopes held in our hearts

And our maps held in our hands



Soon our dreams has all been shattered

We believed the lies of old

We spend our whole lives chasing fables

The ghosts of a dead man's gold
