Hold your lantern high Search for the glitter of gold When the cold takes your breath Feeling under duress Have faith in the river guide Hold your lantern high Search for the glitter of gold There's a hole in your chest Where your lover would rest Follow the river guide As I entered the cavern My vision left me The walls seemed alive And every step was met with shuddering cold In the distance a radiating light beckoned And I made my way forward Drawing closer my fears left me And a feeling of comfort Filled my entire being There in the chamber filled with light I abandoned the world above Hold your lantern high Search for the glitter of gold When the cold takes your breath Feeling under duress Have faith in the river guide
