I heard a loud knock upon my door
 A sweet stranger she entered in
 The night was dark, the wind it roared
 Broken beauty she did bring

 Greed and gold
 Greed and gold
 Forever the loneliest road

 Welcome fine lady won’t you stay this night
 For fortunes may unfold
 I see precious jewels you keep so tight
 Like a sweet child in from the cold

 A silent room in the dead of night
 Two lovers lay there entwined
 From a deep sleep to her bed I creep
 Great treasures there I find
 The midnight moon all across her face
 It steals her out from a dream
 The mirror smashed, sharp silver flashed
 Broken beauty she did scream

 Crying greed and gold
 Greed and gold
 Forever the loneliest road

 Early in the morn you will find me gone
 I’ll seek a dark distant shore
 I’ll walk in fear but always hear
 Her knocking at my front door
