Today is the 9th anniversary of David's passing. Today I blare this song for him. May his soul rest in peace. The world is a colder, darker place without his light in it.

[brandonleague]

For fans of Type O Negative and Paradise Lost. So good. David Gold, you are so missed...

[ZacharyTheJackal]

RIP David Gold. Not only a singer but a poet. I don't care if the music continued I just want David back.

Will always come back to this masterpiece

When i was questioned, i shook my head and stared
I was traveling alone, i had nothing to declare
He asked how i knew for sure
And i would tell everyone i knew
If it would hurt to know the truth

(chorus)
I can be thankful to be alive but i despise this life
In all my years at best, ive only learned just to survive
But when i look around you, i understand why you believe
I see your evidence of god, all around me
You have so therefore you are but i have not
Youve seen the evidence of god but i have not and i have none

(When he asked me) i shook my head and laughed

I never had a taste for life
And i felt there was no turning back
Would i try to take their hope?
Replace it with reality
Exchange their joy with my bleak view
And leave them miserable like me

(Chorus 2)
I have searched and i have tried to find a place where i can be
I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society
But when i look around you i understand why you believe
I see your evidence of god, all around me
You have so therefore you are, but i have not
You are too rich for hate, and i am too poor to love

I heard someone once say one the best things about Woods' music is David Gold's brutally honest lyrics, he sings about living without hope but also wishing he has some.

I was in coma for 3months... my pawpaw asked what it's like.... this song explains it all.

[Dan-exfs]

This song, this song is everything 😢. Emotion!

[Novakano]

I still come back to this post and I'm still thankful for life.

Ever since I started listening to this album like 5 years ago I am way too picky when trying to discover new music, and very rarely can I find the stuff as satisfying as this

"I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life
In all my years, at best I've only learned just to survive"

"Would I try to take away their hope?
Replace it with reality?
Exchange their joy with my bleak view and leave them miserable like me?

I've searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be
I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society"

It's not been long since I found this amazing masterpiece. I've been listening nonstop. ♥♥♥

[davestarr]

@Esther Gold I hope you know how much your son means to so many. His songs touch me deeply

[FidaMohammadMelancholia]

(When he asked me, ) I shook my head and laughed
I never had a taste for life 
and I felt there was no turning back

Would I try to take away their hope?
Replace it with reality / and offer them reality
Exchange their joy with my bleak view
And leave them miserable like me?

I have searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be
I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society

But When I look around you I understand why you believe
I see your evidence of God, all around me

You have so therefore you are, but I have not
You are too rich for hate, and I am too poor to love.

When I asked him, he shook his head and stared
I see no evidence of God, in the men from the west
