A mighty king of Phrygia full of fame and fortune
In his castle he dwelled counting his gold
Obsessed by gold possessed by gold never satisfied
The gods have granted him every wish but a curse it had become
A touch of gold and one lost soul a king who turned it all to gold
A touch of gold and one lost soul a king who turned it all to gold
The food was turned to ash upon the fall of golden rain
The essence of the rose eclipsed and banished his desire
Midas' greed had turned his daughter into frozen gold dust
What once would bring him happiness has left him in despair
A touch of gold and one lost soul a king who turned it all to gold
A touch of gold and one lost soul a king who turned it all to gold
Curse of Midas
Curse of Midas
What has become of me
A sinful man of greed
I must fulfil this deed
So now I plead
Lift this curse from me
The king saw that his gift was only chaos in disguise
He couldn't bear to see his child and kingdom petrified
Midas wept and begged for help and so the gods showed mercy
And so it be that Phrygia would cease to be cursed
Curse of Midas
Curse of Midas
Curse of Midas
Curse of Midas
