There was fire around us so I should have known why
The touch of his hands were as cold as his eyes
So don't you tell me we weren't hypnotised
The print was so small I didn't understand
He cut our thumbs and placed a feather in our hands
Told us we would see all our dreams and plans unfold
Our hearts we have sold
For diamonds and gold
But hey, baby, take a look
We have it all
All my life I've been heading for hell
But never had I thought I'd drag you down as well
I just couldn't resist what he was trying to sell
There's glory ahead but our love will be forgotten
If my heart was still mine I would go to the bottom
And apologise to you until the day it went rotten
But haven't you heard
Hearts turn to dirt
Along with the rest of your body
It's all claimed by the earth
It will fade and it will wither
But gold, it will never
And hey, baby, don't you know
Diamonds are forever
