Endless toil and strenuous work to keep the lights on bright,
only to be disappointed when you find that everyone has light
Looking for something rarer you go on a quest of plight
Dig through soil straight to the core and find a treasure you might
Only to have thieves come in and steal it in the night,
so you mound defences build up walls and equip yourself to fight
Then you see with stones attached you're like a bird that cannot take flight
and like a dog the colours fade you only see black and white
Though they try to take your life completely out of spite,
there's something they cannot steal from you that's hidden from all sight,
to take your love they don't know how because they have no right
and though they howl and bark at you they really have no bite.
