Dropkick Murphys Buried Alive Lyrics

Buried Alive Lyrics

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 



They lashed themselves together

So in death all might be found 

And prayed there for miracle

Some twenty-four storeys down
