These handmade roads
Where darkness creeps
Are crushed with timbers
Whose crusty fingers
Hang like wilting flowers, hang like wilting flowers.
A splintered rock reveals
A fossil's cryptic sign
These are the subtle prints
A code that makes
A moment of a thousand years, a moment of a thousand years.
The striking miners
Whose skills are up for grabs
Won't forfeit their lives
And watch communities
Laid waste for selfish policies, laid waste for selfish policies.
