Jon Langford - Black Gold at Six Bells
That was my last day underground
Black gold black gold, black gold black gold
Never promised, never promised tomorrow
We were grateful for each day
Sky and sun the wind and rain

For eight long hours we died
Darkness like it never was
We will not return
Now we step out of the cage
Glad to be reborn
I heard the six bells ring as it was yesterday

Jon Langford - Living a Lie
There's not a man here in this place Could look that Cyclops in the face Turning back the hands of time There's nothing but perfect and the perfect crime Thank you
