The mining shafts are silent and the pithead baths are dry
And no man goes beneath the soil to earn his daily rye
Clogging dust has settled and surrounding gra** is green
Davey lamps have all gone cold,
Their lights no longer seen
Dragons Milk and Coal
Dragons Milk and Coal
The scars on his back made a mark on his soul
Dragons Milk and Coal
See the rain that's falling on a landscape that is blind,
See the rows of terraced houses clearly in my mind
Twilight is a golden veil that comes in from the West
Memories of my childhood days,
I watch the mountain rest
Shade your eyes from the brightness of the winter sun,
Shade your heart from bitterness and sorrow yet to come
Silence is a token gesture of a hollow land
Valleys heart means nothing now,
They'll never understand
Dragons Milk and Coal
Dragons Milk and Coal
The scars on his back made a mark on his soul
Dragons Milk and Coal
