On my way I found a stone
Oh mesmer is this stone [?]
I started to dig to find some more
Diggin' the dirt to the core
My shovel broke I went to the store
I bed my shovel in stone
The owner said oh, the shovel's worth way more
So I went digging some more
I found a plank behind a door
And our plank broke once more
I started to dig with my bare hands
Skinnin' my flesh to the core
On my way I found a stone
Found a stone, found a stone
I started to dig to find some more
Diggin' the dirt to the core
Something hard just broke my sum
Did I find, really found some
The promised stone was just a bone
Just some bloody damn bone
I dug so deep and for too long
When the storm came along
The storm so strong the hole collapsed
Crushing my chest and my lungs
