Gods & Gold is a song by Aesthetic Perfection. The song features Richard on guitar.

Background

• On 25 August 2020 the band released an earlier version of the song, which did not feature Richard, but Jinxx from Black Veil Brides. In the video description a little information was given on the song:

As many of you don't know, the original guitarist on Gods & Gold was Jinxx from Black Veil Brides (actually, it was Mick from Anaal Nathrakh, but that's another story). This unreleased version was mixed, mastered and ready to go for release. However, just two weeks before the delivery deadline I received stems from Richard of Rammstein that would ultimately become the final album version released on Into the Black. Each iteration has its own character and personality and I love them both.

Lyrics

Album version

Of gods and gold There is a darkness it breeds just hate and war Our inner conflict the seeds of vitriol We're clinging to castles that crumble and fall We die for a cause that means nothing at all Our soul is the whole of the law Is there no hope? We wanna feel something, we wanne be free We're hanging ourselves on our family tree Our blood, it will run in the streets Is there no hope? For all our woes? Will we outgrow? Our endless war, of gods and gold? There is no justice there is just rage and greed To live with conscience is to live on your knees They say that salvations the price you pay The blackness is spreading in light of the day We're heading to hell in a blaze Is there no hope? We're digging our ditches and dragging them down Loyally, royally, pray for the crown Willfully, skillfully Is there no hope? For all our woes? Will we outgrow? Our endless war, of gods and gold? Gold Is there no hope? For all our woes? Will we outgrow? Our endless war, of gods and gold? Of gods and gold Of gods and gold
