poor men seen through anthrasight
with black haze and long-lost souls
chained to the mine in barred rights
Living dead seated at the empty table
Negotiate hollow terms
And return to the whirling shade
Where they become food for worms
Yes, return to this restless home
Where nights’ cut short and the days are surely long
Workers See through Anthrasight
Widows See through Anthrasight
The fatherless see through Anthrasight
See through
Lords of carbon blessed with our labor
Workers See through Anthrasight
Widows See through Anthrasight
The fatherless see through Anthrasight
No sign of life at the black rock mouth
But there’s motion like a dead sway
As a pit to break bodies and to drink their worth
Its their means to make their keep…from us
Exploitation Exploitation
Degradation Alienation Annihilation
No sign of humanity at the black rock mouth
Just cogs for the monied class
Stand up
Anthrasight
They can’t shoot the union out of me

In every mine and mill
We got coal in the soul
as we’re wedded to that black hole
we’ve got bodies for sale
to live as hollow, pained and pale
we’ve got contract
the value from which they detract
Dim is my light
Bare is my larder
Black is my breath
For what do I have to show of my death
Dim, Bare, Black Death
The days of youth seem like a dream
Where Joe comes to speak with me
There I know, in my blackened heart
That it takes more than guns to kill a man
though my life is dark as dungeon and my lungs come to reckon
I discount my worth like labor lost to stillbirth
Yet, we never forget
The sight of Joe Hill, 10 years dead
But alive in the line, with us.
Dim is my light
Bare is my larder
Black is my breath
For what do I have to show of my death

Union of Grievance

Come and listen for the union song
Nothing short of a coal black blues
Come and listen to that union call
cuz those poor men are dying
Come and listen for the union song
Nothing short of a coal black blues
Come and listen to that union call
For the sun never shines on us in the mines
So, we’ll roll over them in union
time to break the con, which side are you on?
We’ll roll over you too, no fear
Down in the dark, down in the depths
No malfeasance
Within our union of grievance
Union / No fear / Union
Those men down there, dying
Those workers benefit us all
Breath with us - Die with us
for the fat fucking pigs eat and eat
Rise up from the whirling shade to toil until you fade
No longer powerless – for we can starve you out
Solidary forever
For the sun never shines on us in the mines
So, we’ll roll over them in union
time to break the con, which side are you on?
We’ll roll over you too, no fear
Down in the dark, down in the depths
No malfeasance within our union

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
