Stare into a gleaming stone, trying to seek new light

It glistened once, now its unrefined and cold

Try to live a perfect life, paint our world in gold

Before we realized we were owned and sold

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

We worked these mines for far too ling, set our lives in stone

The tracks that lead us down are overgrown

Climb out to a past we'd lost, now the future's old

The embers burned too bright for us to hold

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone

Reflections hurt my eyes

Rays cut to size

Glimmer in the sun

The brilliance comes undone
