De Rosa - Hattonrigg Pit Disaster lyrics

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 ba*tards 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 k** you in the end But how many more 'til then?
