lyrics

the mountain took ‘em
i saw it with my own two eyes
oh
they were breaking backs
laying down the tracks
’twas a successful run
took toll, when all’s done
prepare
declare
i can’t repair
this internal warfare
the lads used what they had
but it ended so bad
explosions all through the day
after all, this is the mountain’s way
oh, the mountain took ‘em
oh, the mountain took ‘em
bow out
no route
throughout this blackout
this, my surrender
to this life-ender
my words, my warning
“remember”
“remember me”
they’ll say, “mountain took ‘em”
“poor boy never had a chance”
“there was no magic for his madness”
walk the field
wind on skin
this steal we wield
breathing, now thin
aw, come on
go tell it
go tell it on the mountain
all this dust
all these broken boards
crushing us
now the earth’s forever lords
forever lords
"we’ll haunt your halls"
"creep at night"
"and you’ll hear our calls"
"moon-shadowed delight"
"part of your dreams"
"riding black mares"
and so it seams
"we’re always there"
"we’re always there"
oh yeah
"we work the mines"
oh yeah
"we haunt your minds"
"the mountain took all of us"
