[00:26.55]His name was Albert, forty-seven years of age
[00:32.20]He was a miner
[00:33.79]Working every night and day
[00:38.25]Pickaxe and oil lamp were his silent friends
[00:42.57]In these dark mines
[00:44.00]Where the sun never shines
[00:49.05]Albert was ambitious
[00:51.01]Tried to find a secret way
[00:53.50]To a land far from here he once heard of in a tale
[01:00.74]With pickaxe and oil lamp
[01:02.83]He wanted to break through the space and time
[01:05.77]To find this land erstwhile divined
[01:12.42]Who thought that one man would dare
[01:16.85]To search in the depths for a door, not knowing where
[01:23.10]With his confidence and hope he carried on
[01:27.80]To seek this place, his home …
[01:56.53]I’ll leave you, so said Albert
[01:58.85]I’ll give all a man can give
[02:01.95]To find this world beyond the dark
[02:04.76]It’s where my father lives
[02:08.46]With pickaxe and oil lamp
[02:10.59]He wanted to break through the space and time
[02:14.00]And he never returned again
[02:20.00]Who thought that one man would dare
[02:24.34]To search in the depths for a door, not knowing where
[02:31.00]With his confidence and hope he carried on
[02:35.88]To seek this place, his home …
[05:04.90]I tried so hard but now I feel weak
[05:09.73]My hands are scarred
[05:12.24]I feel the warmth fade, my strength is gone
[05:17.23]Can it be that I was wrong?
[05:24.67]Albert, my beloved son
[05:28.15]I know you’ve searched so long my friend
[05:32.70]And now your search has found an end
[05:37.71]Come, I’ll take you home
[08:01.00]I searched for so long
[08:02.62]But now I’ve found the truth
[08:04.87]There never was a door I finally see through
[08:08.60]The key was always in my heart to find the hallowed land
[08:12.51]I’ll leave this world for good now to stay in the potter’s field
[08:17.08]Who thought a miner was guided by angels alone?
[08:24.95]I found my place, I found my home …
