poor men seen through anthrasight

with black haze and long-lost souls

chained to the mine in barred rights

Living dead seated at the empty table

Negotiate hollow terms

And return to the whirling shade

Where they become food for worms

Yes, return to this restless home

Where nights’ cut short and the days are surely long

Workers See through Anthrasight

Widows See through Anthrasight

The fatherless see through Anthrasight

See through

Lords of carbon blessed with our labor

Workers See through Anthrasight

Widows See through Anthrasight

The fatherless see through Anthrasight

No sign of life at the black rock mouth

But there’s motion like a dead sway

As a pit to break bodies and to drink their worth

Its their means to make their keep…from us

Exploitation Exploitation

Degradation Alienation Annihilation

No sign of humanity at the black rock mouth

Just cogs for the monied class

Stand up

Anthrasight

They can’t shoot the union out of me
