westward, it's destiny
small price to pay for the gift of greed,
like a drifter, on my seventh sea
the cost of loss is everything.
westward, it's destiny
full speed ahead on your steaming steed,
built by dragons, from across the sea
for the gift of opportunity.
the merry weather didn't last too long.
but this pickaxe keeps singing.
and as the others keep hacking along.
the ground provides the rhythm.
it goes.
westward, it's destiny
break for the night for some quiet and peace,
taking orders, from an irish beast
but the mountain is boss, cheat him, you'll see.
westward, it's destiny
cool delta breeze on the river's beach,
through the mountains, through the hail and sleet
but there's gold in them hills. dig and you'll see.
the merry weather didn't last too long.
but this pickaxe keeps singing.
and as the others keep hacking along.
the ground provides the rhythm.
it goes.
