Work the seam,
Collect your pay,
live to work another day

Work the seam ,
with low overhead,
Finish work, head off to bed

work the seam ,
dangerously dim,
give into its every whim

work the seam,
explosion beneath,
tunnels become full of grief

work the seam ,
the day is done,
seems this time the mountain won

work the seam ,
but not for coal,
but for bodies young and old

work the seam ,
collect you pay,
remember the ones who didn't make it out today...
