The Miner

[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
