Ebonshire Gold

[Verse 1] Ahiarath sleeps beneath a violet haze, I was born where the copper dust stays, Inherited a name, inherited a claim, Inherited the fire that no water could tame. The mountains of Ebonshire hum in my sleep, Every vein in the rock is a promise I keep, I don't fall in love, no — I fall into ground, Into shafts, into seams, where my fortune is found. [Pre-chorus] And oh, they said a girl like me Couldn't hold a company — Watch me hollow out a mountain Just to prove them wrong... [Chorus] It's mine, mine, mine — every ridge and rafter! Mine, mine, mine — dug in dust and laughter! Wreckingcrushers, boys, don't you dare be slow, Ebonshire's bones are about to go! Dig it, drill it, haul it to the sky, Signed in my name till the day that I die — It shimmers, it shines, it's all designed To be mine, mine, mine! [Verse 2] I drift through the boardrooms like fog through a vale, Signing the papers, so soft, so pale, But under the silk and the quiet, dreamlike stare Is a girl counting tonnage like stars in the air. They call it obsession — I call it my art, A township, a company, stitched to my heart, Ebonshire whispers my family's old name, And I answer it back with the roar of the flame. [Pre-Chorus] So let them murmur, let them stare, Every ounce is mine to bear — I didn't ask to want this much, I just do. [Final Chorus] It's mine, mine, mine — the whole horizon! Mine, mine, mine — with dreamer's eyes on Every glittering, groaning, grinding seam — Ebonshire is Brigette Fux's dream! Float me up on a cloud of ore, Crown me heiress forevermore — Softly sung but savagely designed, It's mine — mine — MINE! [Outro] ...mine... mine... (the mountain hums back: mine...)
