Blood Upon Copper - Seth Lakeman

For seven long years now

Down that tunnel and shaft

Working out my season

Oh how it better not last

By twenty my hearing

Oh had suffered those days

Blood upon the copper

Oh how I fade away

Working in the darkness day by day

With nothin' but the dreams to light my way

Nothin' but a short life

Down that tunnel and shaft

Gotta breath the air in

Oh how I suffocate fast

For profits and taxes

Oh no money to save

Blood upon the copper

Oh how I fade away
