Buried Alive - Dropkick Murphys

Nothing they could do just sit down there

As the black closed all around them

And the water rose so quick and cold

An unlikely place to drown

Nine in the mine, trapped down below

Down!

Down!

Down in the ground

And this would be the day I didn’t kiss my wife goodbye

Take care of the family, I’m buried alive

They held their heads up high

As they struggled hard to breathe

And asked the Lord to open his arms

For the nine souls he’d receive

They lashed themselves together

So in Death all might be found

And prayed there for a miracle

Some twenty-four storeys down
