		A lie to say, "O my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig.
	500 men with axes and they all dig for me."  A lie to ssay, "O my
	river where mant fish do swim, half of the catch is mine when you haul
	your nets in."  Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding
	ray.  No devil or redeemer will cheat him.  He'll take his gold to
	where he's lying cold.
		A lie to say, "O my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist."
	But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed.  A lie to
	say, "O my garden is growing taller by the day."  He only eats the
	best and tosses the rest away.  Never will he be believe that his
	greed is a blinding ray.  No devil or redeemer can cheat him.  he'll
	take his gold to where he's lying cold.  Six deep in the grave.

		Something is out of reach
		something he wanted
		something is out of reach
		he's being taunted
		something is out of reach
		that he can' beg or steal nor can he buy

		his oldest pain
		and fear in life
		there'll not be time
		his oldest pain
		and fear in life
		there'll not be time

		A lie to say "O my forest has trees that block the sun and
	when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone." No, no, never will he
	believe that his greed is a blinding ray no devil or redeemer can cheat
	him.  He'll take his gold where he's lying cold.
