Ancient Oath
On the surface of an unknown land
Lies pebbles of golden sand
Speaking of an ancient oath
Hidden beneath the undergrowth
Above the mountains of time
Only the pure can climb
A river flows of blood and gold
Beckoning hearts to its threshold
Floating above the stones of grey
Words tell you to walk away
Souls drift in an endless dance
As nature’s spirits advance
On the outside things look fine
But you crossed the worn out line
You broke the vow of archaic and old
Now you sway in the river of blood and gold

Hi! Thank you for your comment. It is a metaphor for selfish greed. I'm glad someone got it! =)
