Lyrics
Among the broken buildings
Of a century gone by
Amidst the piles of tailings
Where the motherlodes ran dry
In the hills of Colorado
Lie the ghost towns and their mines
From Apex down to Victor
The ore was mined in piles
The ground of Central City
Would yield earth's richest mile
And the men who breathed the gold dust
They got richer all the while
All you miners
Clamoring for gold
All you left behind were holes
Be wary when the mines run deeper
Than the bottom of your soul
A mine is not a place
For a man who's weak of heart
He could dig until the end of time
Yet barely get a start
With the riches that elude him
Just tearing him apart
All you miners
Clamoring for gold
All you left behind were holes
Be wary when the mines run deeper
Than the bottom of your soul
All you miners
Clamoring for gold
All you left behind were holes
Be wary when the mines run deeper
Than the bottoms of your souls
If angels fly on gilded wings
No miner's ghost could tell
They'd never known when living
They dug themselves a hell
In the bowels of the mountains
Where forever now they dwell
Among the broken buildings
Of a century gone by
Amidst the piles of tailings
Where the motherlode ran dry
In the hills of Colorado
Lie the ghost towns and their mines
All you miners
Clamoring for gold
All you left behind were holes
Be wary when the mines run deeper
Than the bottoms of your souls
Be wary when the mines run deeper
Than the bottoms of your souls
