[Verse]
             
  From father 

             
to son, the bl

             
ood runs thin,

 ooohhh
             
see the faces 

             
frozen still  

              
 against the w

     
ind         
             
  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

Our labour day

[Verse]
             
  The glass is

    
 cut
              
The bottle run

    
 dry
              
Our love runs 

    
cold 
              
In the caverns

             
 of the night
              
We're wounded 

       
by fear
              
Injured in dou

 We scorch the

      
 earth
              
Set fire to th

     
e sky
              
And we stooped

To reach so hi

A link is lost
