There is a ghost that walks this town nHis face is tired and coal dust lined nWithout a word without a sound nHe'll lend you to the mine nHe passes through the barriers there nAs you standing hypnotized nCause you can't follow him down where nThe truth has caved in, into the minesnnIt was back in an older time nBack where you were young nAnd lost your brother into the mine nWill some justice give you peace nEase your mind, let you sleep nIn your black tomb buried deep nDo you hear their lines nn(Chorus)nDigging deeper in my dreams nHow far must I go down nSearching this deadly seam nCoal Black, Great big lienGreat big liesnnWell who's to bless; who's to blame nWhere did you get that alibi nWho was the spark, who fammed the flame nWhy did they die nn(Chorus)nDigging deeper in my dreams nHow far must I go down nSearching this deadly seam nCoal Black, Great big liennWell maybe it's the system nMaybe it's one man nOr maybe it's more than nYou can ever understand nBut when I hear the omes nWho run for cover from it all nI think about the miner nRunning from that fireball (fire)nnIt's not my fault, I didn't knownI wasn't there, They were too slownI didn't see, I didn't hearnI'm not responsible, Let me out of here nn(Chorus)nDigging deeper in my dreams nHow far must I go down nSearching this deadly seam nCoal Black, Great big lienGreat big lienI'm not responsiblenIt's not my faultnI'm not responsiblenTo find the truthnI'm not responsiblenWell whos to blame
