Seth Lakeman — Blood Upon Copper lyrics

Lyrics

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
