miners have died
are there any still alive?
the people..how they cry
the rescuers arrive
to find the men they strive
they fight and scrap to save
their brothers from a grave
inside a mine, it's always night
this was the longest night of their lives
several days have passed
but they can not give up
and they will never give in
a hope, a prayer, a glimmer of promise
prevent a family's worst nightmare from coming to pass
the mighty dollar rules, our lives still matter last
to have proper mine safety conditions
would cause energy bills to rise....
and it's not like we knew them or anything like that

...update...
the last four miners have been found...all deceased
the mountains weep...
