When I got home from work this morning
Grey paper was waiting for me
My dear was gone, she has had enough of everything
She never knows if I am alive
Go, beautiful doll, go away
You're a fragile person
You never stepped there with your foot
You have no idea what darkness is
Down there devils are reproducing
Three mountains press against my neck
My life, you're not a real friend
But so be it, so be it, it will be sweeter
When I find the heart of the earth
One Frenchman, some wise writer 1
He prophesied a lot of things
Maybe he never worked as a miner
But I love him as my own
The book says there is a place
In the middle of the earth a sun is shining
You can go there with a million two hundred
I seek the heart of the old land and the sun for the miners
I'm digging, the devils are reproducing
Three mountains press against my neck
My life, you're not a real friend
But so be it, so be it, it will be sweeter
When I find the heart of the earth
There I listen, I breath, there I tread
I endure the best I know
But one day I'll drill this earth
And I'll find the light
The book says there is a place
In the middle of the earth a sun is shining
You can go there with a million two hundred
I seek the heart of the old land and the sun for the miners
Let's go, the devils are reproducing
Three mountains press against my neck
My life, you're not a real friend
But so be it, so be it, it will be sweeter
When I find the heart of the earth
When I discover the heart of the earth
