Burried Alive

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. Chorus: 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 my 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 Chorus They lashed themselves together So in death all might be found And prayed there for a miracle Some twenty-four storeys down Chorus
