Coal Black Lyrics

There is a ghost that walks this town
His face is tired and coal dust lined
Without a word without a sound
He'll lend you to the mine
He passes through the barriers there
As you standing hypnotized
Cause you can't follow him down where
The truth has caved in, into the mines

It was back in an older time
Back where you were young
And lost your brother into the mine
Will some justice give you peace
Ease your mind, let you sleep
In your black tomb buried deep
Do you hear their lines

(Chorus)
Digging deeper in my dreams
How far must I go down
Searching this deadly seam
Coal Black, Great big lie
Great big lies

Well who's to bless; who's to blame
Where did you get that alibi
Who was the spark, who fammed the flame
Why did they die

(Chorus)
Digging deeper in my dreams
How far must I go down
Searching this deadly seam
Coal Black, Great big lie

Well maybe it's the system
Maybe it's one man
Or maybe it's more than
You can ever understand
But when I hear the omes
Who run for cover from it all
I think about the miner
Running from that fireball (fire)

It's not my fault, I didn't know
I wasn't there, They were too slow
I didn't see, I didn't hear
I'm not responsible, Let me out of here

(Chorus)
Digging deeper in my dreams
How far must I go down
Searching this deadly seam
Coal Black, Great big lie
Great big lie
I'm not responsible
It's not my fault
I'm not responsible
To find the truth
I'm not responsible
Well whos to blame
