lyrics

Close the coalhouse door lad, there's blood inside
Blood from broken hands and feet
blood that's dried on blackened meat
Blood from hearts that know no beat
Close the coalhouse door lad, there's blood inside

Close the coalhouse door lad, there's bones inside
Mangled, broken piles of bones
Buried neath a pile of stones
And there's no-one there to hear their moans
Close the coalhouse door lad, there's bones inside

Close the coalhouse door lad, there's bairns inside
Bairns who had no time to hide
Bairns who saw the blackness slide
Oh there's bairns beneath the mountainside
