josh rister - pillars made of coal lyrics
(verse 1)
the mountains here are hollow
the river, it’s running black
there’s a freight train leaving tomorrow
and lord, there ain’t no turnin’ back
when the last vein is lifted
at the final curtain call
we’ll wonder what went wrong somewhere behind us
what happened to the beauty of it all
(chorus)
like our fathers, and theirs before them
we gave the company our souls
for a world torn into pieces
on pillars made of coal
(verse 2)
when the whippoorwills are silent
no longer will we hear their familiar call
for they’ve fled the rubble
like the ones who’ve forsaken us all
(chorus)
like our fathers, and theirs before them
we gave the company our souls
for a world torn into pieces
on pillars made of coal
(bridge)
we’ll look towards the east for a rapture
but death will flee, this we surely know
we’ll be left broken and hungry
atop pillars made of coal
(refrain)
pillars made of coal
pillars made of coal
pillars made of coal
