Текст песни Black and Gold (Live) - Sivert Høyem

Once you were all sea-folk
And you sailed across the sea
Crossed the roaring ocean
With the devil at your heels
Your time has come again now
I′ll tell you how this will unfold
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold

Welcome to the seaside
It's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold
The mother lode
Of black and gold

Yes, once you were all sea-wolves
Proudest on the western seas
These days you linger in the shade of taller trees
But the devil has a weak spot
For the wounded and the poor
For the hungry and the crafty
And the wicked and the small

Onward to the seaside
It′s been occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold
The mother lode
Of black and gold

Keep that fire burning
Keep a keen eye on the count
The bounty of the ocean
Astronomical amounts
You all know where it's coming from
You all know where it's going
Yes, in the end I always had a cut of every coin

Welcome to the seaside
It′s been occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold
The mother lode

You enjoy the seaside now
Blindly occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold
The mother lode
Of black and gold
