Hattonrigg Pit Disaster |
| When I was nothing and we were no one |
| I was the father of two hungry sons |
| I dug my way down into a night that seemed to guide me |
| But what I knew then as life was at it’s end |
| Hattonrigg Pit disaster nineteen ten |
| We’ve come a long way since then |
| The words that move me are words of stone |
| That simplify me to a wordless drone |
| The masters living life on a plate |
| Us bastards digging and letting ourselves |
| Be tools to other’s ends |
| Hattonrigg Pit disaster nineteen ten |
| We’ve come a long way since then |
| We lose how many years? |
| Make song, write down |
| Listen, down into light I dig, I dig |
| When I was nothing and we were no one |
| I started looking and look what I found |
| A planning stranger to pin my hope down |
| There was no danger of letting it be |
| A temporary trend |
| I know your ways will kill you in the end |
| But how many more 'til then? |
