There’s only so much one can do
Before the water breaks
And once again life starts anew
With all the same mistakes
As a child you once thought you knew
Now as a man you have grown
And the one thing you have learned is
That you that know you don’t know.

Let it weigh down into gold
Let the spirit survive
Let it weigh down into gold
You’re not trying to change the world
Only dying to save your life this time.

Sister, tell me where you have been
"I’ve been down to the valley floor"
Can you relay to me what you’ve seen
Behind that secret door
Strange alchemy going on
That no words can define
A light that’s brighter than the sun
It wants to see you shine.

Let it weigh down into gold
Let the spirit survive
Let it weigh down into gold
You’re not trying to change the world
Only dying to save your life this time.

Let it weigh down into gold
Let the spirit arise
Let it weigh down into gold
You’re not trying to leave this world
I guess you’re ready to save a life this time.

Let it weigh down, let it weigh down, let it weigh down into gold
Let it weigh down, let it weigh down, let it weigh down into gold
Let it weigh down, let it weigh down, let it weigh down into gold.
