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
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. alienasu
