New Helvetia Lyrics - Pyogenesis

"...Can a heart be of gold if it rusts?" 

As I reached a blind alley 

I had no where else to go 

But to Central Valley 

To exploit and make it grow 

So I did and I reaped fruit of my hands work 

The wealth I enriched 

Turned daylight into murk 

I have faith and love you 

Was the last I heard 

When I set my sails 

And embarked upon a new world 

I will name it New Helvetia 

Where I'll lose it all 

So what, 

True hope knows no equal 

And I'll lose it all 

Gold, no way to conceal 

As wanderers pour out 

Convoys of officials 

Gather to set about 

Can a heart be of gold if it rusts? 

It can't here I'm with you, 

And so much for my trust!
