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
