lyrics

Underground mining was gruesome.
Room and pillar mining was more work than usual,
but it was cooler working below the surface
so the drudgery was doable in conditions unsuitable.

Three more people died beneath when a whole room collapsed. This is called a live funeral because the ones who get buried alive may die days later, the whole time possibly hearing other miners trying to save them from the cave in.

Down in these caves
Wunda remembers the games played
with his friends and younger brother.
Crazy adventures and unlimited fun with his buddies.
Sometimes he even heard the voice of his grandmother.

Yasny said, "Whatever don't kill you, will make you stronger."

He wished she spoke longer,
but a couple words is all she had to offer.
The rigorous repetition of breaking rocks into rubble
strengthened his mental muscle.

In all is Mines,
the gems he mined were the ones in his mind.

Some time passed in this maze and puzzle
while Wunda slaved in the bitter struggle.

There is a woman who prays, also seemingly seized in one of the raids, but not screaming or even being afraid. What she whispers to Wunda, is that she's an undercover Kushite soldier really sent to sneak and secretly orchestrate Wunda's escape from captivity and then taken back to Kush to learn some of its history and prophecy that awaits.

Her knowledge of the culture and language mandates what she translates. It's important that she convinces Wunda that he is the chosen One Man Army after the exploded sun. The journey is long and cumbersome but it's only just begun.
