lyrics

For weeks, or maybe months, now, I've devised my plan.
When I arrive at the mines, I study how the guards search us- distracted, just trying to keep the line moving. If things slow up, they face the lash, same as us. I can use that to smuggle in my steel.
A cart is my way into the sky, of course, but I’ll need a few comrades I trust to help. If one can distract the foreman then I can get in an empty cart, while others load ore on top of me.
I begin to practice holding my breath in the barracks at night. Under 8 stone of metal, breathing won’t be easy, and I won’t trust myself to make the trek lest I can do three counts of 50.
I practice by sneaking bits of contraband past the guards, never getting caught.
I make excuses to climb into empty carts, to see how much room I have.
On my days off, I bury myself in sand, getting used to those long, dark minutes.
And finally, I beg my fellow miners for their help making a distraction and covering me up. By some miracle, they agree, and the wheels of the plan begin to turn.

It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas. Sælzer Bub
