Dark days and colder nights
Hunger deep and meals were tight
Coal dust lines our weary hands
Strugglin' through these barren lands
Empty pots and silent rooms
Laughter lost and heavy gloom
Rationed hope in blackened jars
Dreams erased by concrete scars
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Children's faces coated gray
Hopeful eyes would drift away
Through the cracks the daylight streamed
Chasing whispers of shattered dreams
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight

Dark days and colder nights
Hunger deep and meals were tight
Coal dust lines our weary hands
Strugglin' through these barren lands
Empty pots and silent rooms
Laughter lost and heavy gloom
Rationed hope in blackened jars
Dreams erased by concrete scars
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Children's faces coated gray
Hopeful eyes would drift away
Through the cracks the daylight streamed
Chasing whispers of shattered dreams
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Hunger deep and meals were tight
Coal dust lines our weary hands
Strugglin' through these barren lands
Empty pots and silent rooms
Laughter lost and heavy gloom
Rationed hope in blackened jars
Dreams erased by concrete scars
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Children's faces coated gray
Hopeful eyes would drift away
Through the cracks the daylight streamed
Chasing whispers of shattered dreams
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
Hard times build a tougher heart
Black gold tore our worlds apart
Through the ash we found a way
Burned but still we faced each day
We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew
Days of hard labor nights we knew
Black as the night under dim moonlight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
