Down in the Deep

Lyrics

[Verse]
Down in the deep with the dust and the grime
Swingin' the pickaxe just wastin' our time
Sweat on our brows we won't ever see light
Diggin' for gold in the dead of the night

[Verse 2]
Blackened hands from the coal we embrace
Breathin' in silence while we fall from grace
A paycheck awaits but it ain't ever seen
Family's a dream in this horrible scene

[Chorus]
The rock quarry ain't for the weak of heart
Only the strong-willed survive the start
Breakin' our backs for just a glimpse of hope
In these shadowed depths tryin' to cope

[Bridge]
Shadows and echoes fillin' the void
Memories of sunshine we feel destroyed
Yet we keep diggin' 'cause it's all that we know
Miners’ life hard but we make it our home

[Verse 3]
Bellow of the bosses just blendin' with noise
Seems we're all pawns without any joy
But we keep diggin' through the pain and the strife
Sacrifice now for a family’s life

[Chorus]
The rock quarry ain't for the weak of heart
Only the strong-willed survive the start
Breakin' our backs for just a glimpse of hope
In these shadowed depths tryin' to cope
