Edward Scissortongue & Lamplighter - The Prospector 

What do You think, this song is about.....?

Damn I can't believe this is back on the internet

i don't know why but i kinda feel connected with the people that love this shit as much as i do

You deserve my first ever RU-vid comment for uploading this gem! Thanks. Was missing it for years.

my heart broke when we lost this song the first time. thank you!

I have this song backed up on 3 different harddrives and a flashdrive, as well as my phone. I don't want this to disappear, ever. Scissor's on a whole other level when it comes to telling a story. You just listen and sink into a different mindset. Jó hogy feltöltötted tesó, van aki utálja a Spotify-t

Im so happy this was reuploaded.. im so happy its still here. Fuck man.. thank you!

This is art, so glad I found it back after all those years ❤

I think we can all agree, Perfect!

Ed Scissortongue is always flawless, and so is Lamplighter but damn can we just appreciate how good this instrumental is? 10/10

Finally my great great grandkids favourite song is re-uploaded, they will mine the moon and mars to this.

love this song and also wondered where it went ... i always came too it.

This is a literal masterpiece of grief.pain.suffering.hapinnes.heartbreak . Depression. Lost world. Being forgotten. Fear of being forgotten.

I had it stored on my PC stashed if it were to never come back, but only as the audio. You my dude are a miracle doer.

Grew up on som troubled years with his raps. Apreciate you did upload again!

The song depicts the story of a miner, a prospector, who goes about his daily, dull and bleak routine that is his life. One day he makes a monumental discovery and his body is preserved for some years till mining is possible on a galactic scale, here he is forced to pilot a mechanical exoskeleton to continue his work. The song deals with greed and self destruction, and how the two are deeply interlinked. Motifs of war, death, and dilapidation cement the idea of greed being a hollow and soul shattering thing ultimately He was woken at the break of dawn daily by the force of a light skim And the sense that something was dying inside him The first headline of the worst kept liar read: "You my friend have many lessons to learn" So he wrestled out the pharmaceutical blur Left his mistress in his cabin set to boot in the machines in the cold day The hum of that synthetic purr Pneumatics tunnelling dirt Priceless minerals peppered the earth Every single morning the richness of his vanishing world grew more distorted and blurred Cuboid and pixelated Eyeballs foggy blink blinking on the maps that he sketched of all the tunnels he worked A prophet of sorts The king of the serfs Mud portraits covered in dirt The prospector Son of the gold mines Son of the earth Work working where the bullion lurked Rapturous the bell toll Shrillings of a copper leaf Bigger than the sum of any honest evil He'd left his family behind every second in his mind they were running through a summer sequel Fuzzy apparitions of a cold transit Grey scale colours in this cold language Rubble deep on this war torn shore line War crimes rife in the plunder in a gold gambits Hunting for the shimmers in a pitch black pit map He would make every move more precise Engage repeat Vessels on a setting moon One shimmer shallow in the melee of the diesel fumes giving room The brightest brashest omnipresence That suffocated every person present in the belly of this warm globe Was never called to question He grasped it tightly cause heaven was his cargo Cogs stopped grinding and the rock fumes rising Every single worker felt the warmth of his discovery A once in a lifetime type find blinding (blinding) The biggest jewel that man had ever seen [Hook] Grey meridian Great giver of life Pay your citizens Make us millions We've been working all day, all night inside your mines providing Grey meridian Great giver of life Pay your citizens Make us millions We've been working all day, all night inside your mines providing Grey meridian Make us millions [Verse 2] He was woken by the sound of cycles in the silence The second birth synthesising artificial bodies out of stasis The data tanks were running at their optimum pace defrosting brain cells in the Medbay of the spaceship Shimmers on a mystic cause stationed on a lunar base A hundred metres shy of the most precious mine that man had made His woman never made it Lifeless in suspension Life in his depression saw him weeping in a doctors arms Heart rate normalised Thought patterns scattered on another bleak assignment War between the islands had the corporation frightened Turrets ripping day and night until the laser cannons settled scores of ultraviolence Water in the wires Lifelines coursing through the innards of the make-up of these automated pilots Futuristic miners Touring the terrain in metal mechanised suits in search of treasures in the silence Hybrids of man and machine laced a DNA sweepstake You could feel the metal entering through the adamantium keychain Phase one to see space differently Pneumatics drilling in deep space A grease-stained team made of meat heads, ex-marines, villains and sea snakes A sweepstake of criminals Keep safe your killers of peeps Break your fillings and teeth Take the tip of the tools Break your weak face Tools of the trade got the galaxy heated Production lines hunting the deep slate Greeted with occasional keepsakes An igneous heatwave To moon cross crumbling feet breaks It's doom-like these days Shimmering lakes of tranquillity Drank the lakes bare 'til the lakes are dead visibly Run the jewels under a hundred tools Cripple and crush the moon Slaving in caves of activity Scaffold the entrance and delve into stars Into parts unknown Every single one a savage on the path they chose Draining every pigment from the dark rainbow And pick a pathway home [Hook] Grey meridian Great giver of life Pay your citizens Make us millions We've been working all day, all night inside your mines providing Grey meridian Great giver of life Pay your citizens Make us millions We've been working all day, all night inside your mines providing Grey meridian Make us millions Grey meridian Make us millions

Prospector Lyrics [Verse 1] He was woken at the break of dawn daily by the force of a light skim And the sense that something was dying inside him The first headline of the worst kept liar read: "You my friend have many lessons to learn" So he wrestled out the pharmaceutical blur Left his mistress in his cabin set to boot in the machines in the cold day The hum of that synthetic purr Pneumatics tunnelling dirt Priceless minerals peppered the earth Every single morning the richness of his vanishing world grew more distorted and blurred Cuboid and pixelated Eyeballs foggy blink blinking on the maps that he sketched of all the tunnels he worked A prophet of sorts The king of the serfs Mud portraits covered in dirt The prospector Son of the gold mines Son of the earth Work working where the bullion lurked Rapturous the bell toll Shrillings of a copper leaf Bigger than the sum of any honest evil He'd left his family behind every second in his mind they were running through a summer sequel Fuzzy apparitions of a cold transit Grey scale colours in this cold language Rubble deep on this war torn shore line War crimes rife in the plunder in a gold gambits Hunting for the shimmers in a pitch black pit map He would make every move more precise Engage repeat Vessels on a setting moon One shimmer shallow in the melee of the diesel fumes giving room The brightest brashest omnipresence That suffocated every person present in the belly of this warm globe Was never called to question He grasped it tightly cause heaven was his cargo Cogs stopped grinding and the rock fumes rising Every

2] He was woken by the sound of cycles in the silence The second birth synthesising artificial bodies out of stasis The data tanks were running at their optimum pace defrosting brain cells in the Medbay of the spaceship Shimmers on a mystic cause stationed on a lunar base A hundred metres shy of the most precious mine that man had made His woman never made it Lifeless in suspension Life in his depression saw him weeping in a doctors arms Heart rate normalised Thought patterns scattered on another bleak assignment War between the islands had the corporation frightened Turrets ripping day and night until the laser cannons settled scores of ultraviolence Water in the wires Lifelines coursing through the innards of the make-up of these automated pilots Futuristic miners Touring the terrain in metal mechanised suits in search of treasures in the silence Hybrids of man and machine laced a DNA sweepstake You could feel the metal entering through the adamantium keychain Phase one to see space differently Pneumatics drilling in deep space A grease-stained team made of meat heads, ex-marines, villains and sea snakes A sweepstake of criminals Keep safe your killers of peeps Break your fillings and teeth Take the tip of the tools Break your weak face Tools of the trade got the galaxy heated Production lines hunting the deep slate Greeted with occasional keepsakes An igneous heatwave To moon cross crumbling feet breaks It's doom-like these days Shimmering lakes of tranquillity Drank the lakes bare 'til the lakes are dead visibly Run the jewels under a hundred tools Cripple and crush the moon Slaving in caves of activity Scaffold the entrance and delve into stars Into parts unknown Every single one a savage on the path they chose Draining every pigment from the dark rainbow And pick a pathway home

2022, still one of the best and most real tunes.

Absolute legend for this, never gets old. Tune and a half

Thank you so much for this, Ive been looking for ages wondering why it had gone. True saviour!

Yooooooo, been waiting for this to be reuploaded!! Tune! Thanks for making my year! 🔥🔥

What a beautiful track.

Really well detailed description of the beats, the lyrics and language have a very good tone. It is a very sad, life-like song. The lyrics are like if a man in universe was alone in his depressions. His wife died, friends. Very sad yet it's depressing song. But the beat is very good. I could sit to this for hours. This is a great project. Very good and appreciate Ed Scissor And the team of you researchers that put this beat back on track. Great job

Love this tune, used to listen to it on my way into work every day.

Thank you so so much for this upload. Been wanting to hear this again for years. Unforgettable.

THANK YOU

Wow this is Dope and really on some other level wow, Such style somehow different yet links to Manau, a french rap group

köszi!

This brings me great nostalgia

Thanks for upload it again

Thank you.

Ay thanks for uploading dis been looking for it ever since it was deleted. Ur a real g frr

Just been looking for this after wanting to have a listen. Thanks for putting it up! Beautiful track. Still gives me tingles. This track sounds slightly different from the one I remember. The bass line isn't quite as dark.

That lift (on the Tower Of Piza) - casts a hollow sadness - one that is often propagated, and proclaimed - but, rarely captured, and conveyed. The blind overseer - of Ross & The Mafia. The defensive, receptive - isolated. The shadow of the road. The Blind Overseer.

My favorite song! Thank you

Looks like I'm not only one missing this gem :D Thanks for uploading this!

The best!

Sa traiasca Liviul

Let's hope this doesn't get ripped off the net again

Yeah boyyyy

Awesome man. Thank you. Couple of corrections to the lyrics though: "That suffocated every person present in the belly of this warm globe" should be... "That suffocated every person present in the belly of this warm glow" and... "Drank the lakes bare 'til the lakes are dead visibly" should be... "Drag the lakes bare 'til the lakes are dead visibly"

Bam!
