ACOUSTIC

My latest track in the series of psychedelic blues rock fused with dream pop, soul and hip hop.

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Gold doesn’t rust, but it still fades out, 
The weight of the crown drags kingdoms down. 
Every statue cracks when the light runs out, 
And silence builds where the songs were loud. 
You can’t cheat dust, it waits like God, 
Gatherin’ names from the saints and frauds.

The brass gone brown, flags hangin’ low, 
Gold leaf fading on a broken throne. 
No choirs sing, just wind through stone, 
No victors left, no place called home.

I built my name on a pillar of smoke, 
Watched it vanish with the words I spoke. 
Silence louder than the crowd I fed, 
I chased forever till the moment bled.

The earth keeps secrets better than I do, 
Every crown breaks the head it grew.

The stone remembers strength when the hands are gone, 
A beautiful wreck from night till dawn. 
How the mighty have fallen, broken and few, 
What was built for forever is just passing through.

Marble cracks, roots claim the walls, 
Echoes sleep in these empty halls. 
The Caesar dreams beneath the dust, 
His gold gone green, his sword gone rust.

The final blow was never loud, 
Just whispered through the laughing crowd.
Now only echoes understand, 
The cost of thrones carved out of man.

They prayed for grace while the world gave stone, 
Kissed their thrones but died alone. 
Gold doesn’t rust, but it doesn’t stay, 
It just learns to fade in a slower way.

The stone remembers strength when the hands are gone,  
A beautiful wreck from night till dawn.  
How the mighty have fallen, broken and few,  
What was built for forever is just passing through.  
Gold doesn’t rust, but it burns in blue.  

Gold doesn’t rust...  
but neither do you.  
We shine for a moment,
Then fade right through.  
Every empire, every heart,  
It turns quiet at last.
Gold doesn’t rust...  
It just forgets the past.

Gold Doesn’t Rust

Continuing a theme of taking some great synth tunes from the 80s and seeing what they might sound like on a simple guitar and vox.
Tried this one a while ago, but my guitar playing was pretty awful - hopefully I'm a bit better on this version
