A song I wrote about the Sago mining disaster of 2006 in West Virginia, USA.
Lyrics
Underneath
How does it feel to be trapped underneath
Where poison and dust is the air that you breathe
Without any light, without any sound
Nowhere another or other be found,
Nowhere another or other be found
How does it feel to know that it's the end
For yourself and your friend, and your friend, and your friend
How do you know when it's your turn to die
When no light of sunshine resides in your eye
No light of sunshine resides in your eye
Unlucky the number, unlucky the day
Unsafe was the place and the price was to pay
The thirteen from Sago went down once again
Only one soul to be seen evergain
Only one soul to be seen evergain
May God rest their souls and may God ease their pain
And may you bow your head when I sing this refrain
That men must earn money for men to be me,
And souls trapped below will rise up once again
souls trapped below will rise up once again
souls trapped below will rise up once again
souls trapped below will rise up once again
