A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value. Chemically, the precious metals are less reactive than most elements. They are usually ductile and have a high lustre. Historically, precious metals were important as currency but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code.
The best-known precious metals are the coinage metals gold and silver. While both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewellery and coinage. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded.
The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals.
A metal is deemed to be precious if it is rare. The discovery of new sources of ore or improvements in mining or refining processes may cause the value of a precious metal to diminish. The status of a "precious" metal can also be determined by high demand or market value. Precious metals in bulk form are known as bullion and are traded on commodity markets. Bullion metals may be cast into ingots or minted into coins. The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by a face value as money.

Over-priced but under-sold
You'll soon be worth your weigh in precious metal
Roll the crimson carpet out
The jack of clubs has come and will not leave
Fate loved me but now does not
I heard it from a rare clairvoyant petal
First you thrash me then you run
You broke the heart I fastened to my sleeve
Oh you're killing me now
You're over the moon and I'm under the ground
Oh it's killing you too
That they fought over me
But poured scorn over you
Oh it's payment in kind
That you're half what I love and half what I despise
Oh you're killing me now, you're killing me
Out of time but into greed
Your pots will slowly turn to copper kettles
Sneak a breath then spit it out
Enjoy the pound of freshly scented truce
One obsession at a time;
Your grip is getting loose around the nettles
Time to flee, and fly you will
A felon with a melancholy muse
Something like the
Son of Orion
Wraps me/ Above
Our own love song
No one be done. Come on be strong
No one be done. Come on be strong
Some things come from
The den of a lion
Wraps me / Above
Our own love song
No one be done
Come on be strong
No one be done
When you see 'em coming,
Ready to attack,
What you feel is numbing,
No way of turning back.
When you hear the order,
Nothing left to do,
Cross the final border,
And pray you make it through.
Think about what could've been,
And if it's goingna be...
(Chorous)
In a world torn apart,
You'll prove what you're made of
Bless every step you take.
In to in to battle
In to in to battle!
When you feel the fire,
When your body crawls,
Tough you're sick and tired,
And you're about to fall.
Think about what could've been,
And if it's goingna be...
(Chorous)
In a world torn apart,
You'll prove what you're made of
Bless every step you take...
In a nightmare awake,
Feels like hell and for heaven's sake,
Find your way back someday, someway...
In to in to battle
In to in to battle!
