lyrics

“The Mines” - Mike Turnwall

Born in the rain
Came down once, then never again
A father betrayed
His only son
I’ve come to realize
This place, ain’t my home
It’s just where I was left
So the next, is still unknown

And I will find, a way out of here alive
No I won’t stand in line, to die like the others

My lungs are filled with grey
And each one of my days is spent, in the darkness, underground
The yellow canary sings
It tries to spread its wings, but it shares, the same fate of the whole town
And it makes sounds of despair
As it breathes in its dying air
Then it’s thrown aside, to waste like the others

Oh, not me
Oh it won’t be me

And we will find, a way out of here alive
No we won’t stand in line, to die like the others
