[Verse]
The seam is split
             
The coal-face 

        
cracked
         
The lines are 

long
       
There's no goi

ng back.
       
Through hands 

of steel
       
And heart of s

tone
       
Our labour day
       
Has come and g

The glass is c

The bottle run

 dry.
       
Our love runs 

cold 
         
In the caverns

 of the night.
           
We're wounded 

by fear
       
Injured in dou

I can lose mys

Our love has s
