Dark days and colder nights Hunger deep and meals were tight Coal dust lines our weary hands Strugglin' through these barren lands Empty pots and silent rooms Laughter lost and heavy gloom Rationed hope in blackened jars Dreams erased by concrete scars We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew Days of hard labor nights we knew Black as the night under dim moonlight We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight Children's faces coated gray Hopeful eyes would drift away Through the cracks the daylight streamed Chasing whispers of shattered dreams Hard times build a tougher heart Black gold tore our worlds apart Through the ash we found a way Burned but still we faced each day We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew Days of hard labor nights we knew Black as the night under dim moonlight We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight Hard times build a tougher heart Black gold tore our worlds apart Through the ash we found a way Burned but still we faced each day We used to eat coal that's what we'd chew Days of hard labor nights we knew Black as the night under dim moonlight We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight We'd swallow the pain fight the good fight
