Black Gold at Six Bells

I heard the six bells ring as it was yesterday
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
Underground we toiled away
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
