They came from far and wide Over the oceans they sailed They took me by surprise They didn't ask my name Jumped into my rivers bare They knew no fear nor shame Was it the gold That ran through my veins Was it the snow That covered my peaks Was it the dust That rolled down my plains Or the rocks I hid underneath That made them forget That my heart is soft Like molten rock Pumping blood In gushes, it rushes Through my limbs From deep within And my skin will breathe fire They dug and scraped and raked Scratched down every crack They hacked and pushed and ripped And though I cannot hide I can be still and wait Oh, I will bide my time With the gold That runs through my veins The snow that covers my peaks The dust that rolls down my plains And the rocks I hide underneath To make them forget That my heart is soft Like molten rock Pumping blood In gushes, it rushes Through my limbs From deep within And my skin will breathe fire
