The Gold Bug

Decode, decode, ayy, decode, decode

Gold Bug Decode, decode

Decode, decode

Follow the skull-treasure untold

Untold, untold

Crack that code, ayy Crack that code

Code, code, code

Out on the dunes, moonlight cold

Gold bug gleam, story untold

Cipher in hand, skull in the tree

Parchment's alive, it's speakin' to me

Lines twist tight, numbers collide

Every mark's a riddle that I can't hide

Legrand obsessed, mind on fire

Crackin' the code, goin' higher, higher

Gold Bug! Decode, decode

Decode, decode

Follow the skull-treasure untold

Untold, untold

Crack that code, ayy Crack that code

Code, code, code

The parchment points, the shovel gon' strike-shadow of the tree in the dead of night

Moon on my back, diggin' it fast,

Gold bug truth, unravel the past.

Cipher's a maze, but my brain don't stop,

Tick-tick clock, every clue gon' drop.

Chest in the ground, riches unfold,

Poe's ghost whisper-keep huntin' the gold.

The treasure is theirs, but the riddle remains. Keep huntin
