Miner's Misery
Deep in the bowels of the earth
Where no sun ever shines
Miners toil away in tunnels dark
Risking their lives for a few lousy dimes
Rock dust clogs our lungs as we drill and blast with dynamite
Never know when this mountain will come crashing down on us overnight!
Boss man don't give a damn about safety or how hard we work
Just wants more gold outta them
Veins before some other miner beats him to it first!
Miner's Misery
Dynamite in the Dark... ain't nothin' scarier than that!
We're like rats trapped underground scurryin' 'round blindly
Hopeful there'll be an escape route if disaster strikes suddenly
But today was different -
Something felt off from the start!
Pressure built up deep inside mine shaft
Making my heart race apart!
Then BOOM! The explosion ripped through
Tunnel walls caving them all in!
Falling rocks crushed men alive while others
Burned screaming within inferno hellish hotter than Satan's grin!
I ran for my life dodging boulders & flames
Searing flesh clean off bones
Only to get buried under avalanche of rubble
Collapsing down upon me like dominoes!
Trapped here in the dark, I know my fate is sealed
Slow suffocation or burn to death - no way out of this hell
So as I lay here waitin' for sweet release
Let me tell you one last thing!
The real tragedy ain't dyin' down in a mine shaft like this
It's that we miners are just slaves to greed & lust for gold
Worked hard and died young while fat cats up top got rich!
Miner's Misery
Where no sun ever shines
