Текст песни
[Intro]
The shaft descends
The air turns black
We do not stop
We do not turn back
[Verse 1]
I was born beneath the surface
Where the rock bleeds poison through
The foreman screams keep digging
And we do what we're told to do
The drill screams in the darkness
The stone gives up its curse
Every breath tastes like metal
Every shift gets worse
[Pre-Chorus]
We spit red into the tunnel
Our lungs are caving in
But the quota must be met tonight
So we begin again
[Chorus]
The deeper we go, the sicker we get
The deeper we go, we're drowning in debt
The mountain takes our bodies slow
But we can't climb back
The deeper we go
[Verse 2]
They tell us that we're lucky
To have work down in the seam
While the dust builds up inside us
And we're too scared to scream
The canary died on Monday
We buried it in stone
Then we picked up our equipment
And we dug another zone
[Pre-Chorus]
We spit red into the tunnel
The boss says one more ton
If we stop they'll find replacements
Before the morning comes
[Chorus]
The deeper we go, the sicker we get
The deeper we go, we're drowning in debt
The mountain takes our bodies slow
But we can't climb back
The deeper we go
[Bridge]
Dig! (Dig!)
Bleed! (Bleed!)
The ore must feed the machine!
Break! (Break!)
Fall! (Fall!)
We're just fuel for it all!
[Breakdown]
They say the vein runs deeper
They say we're almost there
But the only thing we're mining
Is the poison in the air
[Final Chorus]
The deeper we go, the sicker we get
The deeper we go, consumed by our debt
The mountain takes our bodies slow
And we won't climb back
The deeper we go
[Outro]
Down and down and down
Until the shaft becomes our grave
We are the ones who dig
We are the ones who cannot be saved
