Weight in Gold (Vox Machina Fan Song)

Been a hot minute, but I've been working behind the scenes on a big upcoming D&D adjacent (but non-CR) project that'll be debuting soon, so keep an eye out! Also, I apologize but I could not sing that last line without breaking, sibling stuff gets me.

Lyrics:

When I die, gild my bones
Wrap me in a silken shroud
Bury me with all the gold in the treasuries of men
Do you recall the way they’d sneer?
The way they’d mock our better blood?
Brother I can still remember all the words our father said and didn’t say

If I were worth my weight in gold
Perhaps someone would see me
If I lived in a castle
Would the world then care to meet me?
Fill my coffers high with lies
And let a girl pretend
That she’s more than her elegance belies

Wealth of riches, wealth of name
I have it all, and yet I’m still the same
But wealth of family, wealth of lover, wealth of brother keeps me warm
Queen of Ravens lays me down
Her mask as fragile as my own
Open eyed, I see my brother who has never left my side
A sacrifice

I would give up all my gold for one more day to tease you
I would burn my castle down for one more chance to see you
Fill my heart as you once did when it was us against the world
