I've been away 15 year or more
Dirt in my hands, like digging for ore
In a nervous state, when there ain't never law
Who did you owe my hell? We swore
Now the time has come, I, I've returned
My hair is grey and my skin has burnt
Wise up now with the tales I heard
And I, in a mind, draw the lessons I learnt
Traveled far and wide, out mining for gold
Chris is done, destroys men's souls
Cheating and the lying, and the suffering and greed
A weight on my shoulder
I didn't need, I didn't need, I didn't need
See, bullion and blood go hand in hand
Many folk have died for it, across this land
Crusading for coins never figured in my plans
Just, uh, make a move as fast as you can
Well, I stood for what I hold as best I could
Tempted by the offers, though I know I never should
Sledding day and night, long and cold in woods
Slaving for a company, trying to make a buck or two
Traveled far and wide, out mining for gold
Chris is done, destroys men's souls
Cheating and the lying, and the suffering and greed
A weight on my shoulder
I didn't need, I didn't need, I didn't need
ย
You get to feel like a captive when you can't move around
Tied up to a shovel and a chain to the ground
Slogging your guts out, grinding pound for pound
Just to scrape a living, keep my trap, don't make a sound
Well, the chance arrived, it was time for me to go
Got myself some freedom and I jumped the 3D0
On the train in hiding, hot sure, when dealing slow
All the way to St. Anselm, the place I know as home
Traveled far and wide, out mining for gold
Chris is done, destroys men's souls
Cheating and the lying, and the suffering and greed
A weight on my shoulder
I didn't need, I didn't need, I didn't need
