[Verse 1] Kevin and Miles, two souls on the run, Scarred by the past, chasing the sun. But fate is a wheel, and down it did roll, Into the dark, to the mines of the coal. A tremble, a crack, then the earth gave way, Swallowed them whole at the end of the day. Torches like stars in a cavern so wide, Dwarves with cold steel, no place left to hide. [Chorus] Chained to the stone, where the daylight won’t go, Bleeding for gold in the caverns below. Once they escaped, now they're caught once again, Broken in silence, forgotten by men. All hope is gone, and the echoes remain— Kevin and Miles in the kingdom of pain. [Verse 2] "Work ‘til you die," said the dwarf in command, "Gold is our god, and you’ll die for this land." Pickaxe and shovel, no rest, no reprieve, Dreams turn to dust you can never retrieve. The songs of the surface, now ghosts in their heads, Feasting on memories, starving on bread. Miles cursed the sky he could no longer see, Kevin just whispered, “We’ll never be free…” [Chorus] Chained to the stone, where the daylight won’t go, Bleeding for gold in the caverns below. Once they escaped, now they're caught once again, Broken in silence, forgotten by men. All hope is gone, and the echoes remain— Kevin and Miles in the kingdom of pain. [Bridge] Once they had climbed from the pits of despair, Now they're dragged deeper—no breath, no air. Second time's crueler, the chains cut more deep, Hope is a liar that sings you to sleep. The dwarves never age, but the men surely do, With backs that are breaking and eyes turning blue. No sun for the sinners, no moonlight to find, Just the hammering rhythm of shackles and time. [Final Chorus] Chained to the stone, where no mercy is shown, Digging their graves in a kingdom of bone. Twice they were taken, now twice they have bled, Living like ghosts, but as good as the dead. No legends will tell of the tears or the toll— Kevin and Miles, in the prison of gold.
