Tell God and the Devil - Solas

Seven years a miner I'll mine for seven more

No better man on earth now to move that mountain floor

Go load us in that chippy that drops down every day

No braver man on earth boys no matter what they say

So tell god and the devil they can try

But today is not gona be the day we die

Don't want to see those helmet men come to carry you

The ground so cold and hard above they won't even bury you

So tap tap tapper lightly as lightly as she goes

You better take some cover now and hide before she blows

Get those picks and shovels off your backs

Get the rocks into the box and down the tracks

There's mucker and there's skinners and nippers on the drill

They'll work all day and night boys as only miners will

We'll chase rebellious copper the walls you pick and hack

Don't worry if you're diggin' scared us miners got your back

So tell god and the devil they can try

But today is not gona be the day we die

God can't fetch you down here and the devil's got your name

Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain

Then when your spirit's waning the fear is yours to tame

When you feel the darkness closing turn up your carbit flame

And tell God and the Devil they can try

But today is not gonna be the day we die

So tell God and the Devil they can try

But today is not gonna be the day we die
