The mine takes me down deep within earth´s shell
With my lighted helmet on I can see to hell
But I do what I do, feed my family well
But there was nothing I could do when the trusses began to fail
Huddled in the corner at the bottom of the shaft
I could see from the explosion there wasn´t many of us left
The rocks got some others, some others were crushed to death
I saw big men crying others were chopped in half
I´m not gonna die here, I´m going home again
I killed a boy and took his breathing apparatus
I might be here for days so I took one from Old Buck too
Compiling necessities underneath dead bodies
Awaiting my rescue I watched fumes overtake the others
It´s all for one, and I´m here to win
Then the unthinkable
It had been 4 days
My will to live is strong
Like a cornered wolverine
I dug into the torso
Of the freshest dead
3 more days passed
I could hear the workers but I began to gasp
I had run out of air |
