The Miner

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Asim Searah] Suffocated by misery In search of the endless treasure All that glitters is not gold Crowning dust of mysteries Just to own a few pieces of pleasure All that is bitter will unfold [Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons, Asim Searah] Through these tunnels I walk alone For I will claim the throne Though this darkness burns my soul But I will reach the goal [Chorus 1: Simone Simons & Asim Searah] I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for, that doesn't feel right And an illusion of a haloed night There is nothing hopeful that is in sight Another sacred desire Now all I am longing for is just to feel alive [Verse 2: Simone Simons, Asim Searah] Calculating my destiny In the arms of this precious leisure Gazing into the unknown Breathing in the fantasy Just to choke on these desperate measures Swiftly drifting into the unknown [Chorus 2: Simone Simons & Asim Searah, Mark Jansen] The burden of silence It wearies me down this road Deep within my soul, the gratitude Is lost in the lore that's sold The shadow of sadness I carry till the break of dawn On the journey towards my solitude I'm lost in these Halls of Gold [Bridge: Mark Jansen] Conceived by this evident creed To honor the very prevalent breed I'm destined to break the chains In this realm of lies [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown: Simone Simons, Asim Searah] I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for that doesn't feel right I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for that doesn't feel right [Chorus 1: Simone Simons & Asim Searah] I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for that doesn't feel right And an illusion of haloed night There is nothing hopeful that is in sight Another sacred desire Now all I am longing for is just to feel alive I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for that doesn't feel right And an illusion of haloed night There is nothing hopeful that is in sight Another sacred desire Now all I am longing for is just to feel alive I think I see a shallow light Intrusively in this abyss I fight Another victim, I'm blinded By all I am longing for that doesn't feel right And an illusion of haloed night There is nothing hopeful that is in sight Another sacred desire Now all I am longing for is just to feel alive
