The Power of Gold

The story is told of the power of gold

And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds

And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold

The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you of times left behind you

But you know the past is a loser

The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under the power of gold
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
And nobody thinks that it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly soldThen tell me that you're free of the power of gold
The power of gold

The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you

gold version

In software and application development, a gold version is the final stage of software development and follows the alpha and beta testing cycles of software development. The gold version is the final version of the software as it will be released to the public. Most or all known bugs prior to release are fixed, and all intended functions for final release are implemented. Media and developers will often use the phrase "gone gold" to announce a software product's impending release.
It's like you find a showstopper in gold version and suddenly everybody loses their minds.
